🚨BREAKING🚨: We filed amicus with 15 other schools’ / student governments in support of MIT/Harvard lawsuit against @ICEgov@DHSgov . As student leaders we cannot just simply stand by and watch the horrible actions the federal government is taking on our students .
CUNY decries a federal rule change announced Monday that could force hundreds of thousands of international students to leave the U.S. in the fall.

Please share! We need as many international students submitting their stories so we can highlight them in our advocacy efforts to halt the federal administration's efforts to jeopardize our students' stay in the US!!!

The Mayor tried to fully cut @cunyasap but he underestimated the students leaders at CUNY. Now @cunyasap has been fully restored. A major win for CUNY.
Over 1,000 testimonies from students affected by this pandemic, letters from elected officials, thousands of students & faculty all calling on you to invest in CUNY & you respond by cutting funding to CUNY ASAP? a program meant to help low income students access college @NYCMayor
@HelenRosenthal@NYCMayor@cunyasap@UnaSTClarke@PSC_CUNY @Vanessalgibson @JFREJNYC This is called “eating the seed corn.” Every dollar spent on these kids will come back to the city many times over in the form of better jobs, higher salaries and much more paid in payroll, sales and income taxes.
100+ NYS legislators just refused to allow budget cuts w/o raising taxes on the rich first.
100+ PSCers lined up from @CUNY to @NYGovCuomo’s office demanding NO CUTS! No Layoffs of adjunct faculty! #MakeBillionairesPay to save CUNY. This is the #CUNYSummerOfStruggle
Most @CUNY students live in NYC communities w/highest rates of job loss & COVID-19 illness & death. Cutting courses they need to graduate & laying off adjuncts who teach most courses is outrageous & avoidable #MakeBillionairesPay#CutCovidNotCUNY#CUNYSummerOfStruggle
When they say protests don’t work, they are wrong!The legislature is passing a bills this week that should’ve been past years ago which would hold police officers accountable in NY. We have to fight to make sure not another black person is killed by police without repercussions!
