📈 Great news for Buff State! Enrollment is up and residence hall occupancy is on the rise thanks to scholarship incentives for students. 🎓👏 Let's keep the momentum going! New York needs a #NewDeal4HigherEd to fully fund public higher education across the state. NY students deserve the very best. @NYSUT @UUPInfo @SUNY

Standing in solidarity with @NYSUT locals at Rockland Community College who are standing up to cuts @SUNYRockland. Unions play a vital role in protecting jobs and preserving the quality of education in higher ed. We stand with you, we’ve got your back! #UnionStrong🎓💪@NYSUT

NY NEEDS Downstate! The world-class services at this public teaching hospital are an integral part of what makes our state great. To close it would be more than a loss for just this community, it would be a loss for us all. #BrooklynNeedsDownstate and so does NY! @nysut @uupinfo

Hundreds of UUP Downstate members and allies joined UUP President Fred Kowal along with statewide, chapter and affiliate leaders to discuss the importance of SUNY Downstate Hospital to the community and stand together to save SUNY Downstate! #BrooklynNeedsDownstate

[Melinda Person 🍎✌🌈 @MelindaJPerson]

The latest NYS budget proposal arbitrarily changes elements of the Foundation Aid formula to cut funding to schools. This is a sharp turn from last year’s historic step of fully fund school aid. NY should honor its promise to our schools. @nysut

Community colleges are gateways of opportunity. This week’s news that @SUNYRockland is facing cuts is devastating. NY needs to invest in a #NewDealforHigherEd so our colleges and universities can support the workers of tomorrow. @NYSUT

2.7 million NYers live in poverty - 760K children, or 1 in 5. Poverty is not inevitable. We can find a way. @NYSUT @AQE_NY @citizenactionny #NYSCouncilofChurches @NYSAFLCIO #SCAANY @childrensagenda @RonDeutsch67 @strongforall @NewYorkHunger  Learn more at https://t.co/rlzfkBGjQO

Thank you Mr. Webster for inspiring @MannionforNY to become a teacher, and thank you Senator Mannion for inspiring the next generation of students in NY. We’re proud to call you a friend to every teacher in New York State. 🤝🍎 @nysut

Closing @sunydownstate is a mistake. #BrooklynNeedsDownstate, which offers specialized care including the only kidney transplant program in the borough. Now is the time to invest in Brooklyn's healthcare, not diminish it. @uupdownstatech @uupinfo @nysut

Concerning news for District 75 schools supporting students with disabilities. Our public schools need the resources and support needed to ensure every student receives the quality education they deserve. 📚💙 @nysut @aftunion @uft

UUP members were joined by students, fellow unionists and community supporters at Fredonia last week to speak out against proposed cuts. We will stand against any and all attempts to cut programs at SUNY Fredonia and any other SUNY campus.
