Free CUNY

We are New Yorkers organizing to make CUNY free again. We believe that free, high-quality higher education is a human right.

Did Excelsior scholarship regs jump the gun? https://t.co/Am7WC60Xdl via @TimesUnion

Heavily redacted emails show coordination b/w LaGuardia College president & Cuomo admin to whip Excelsior support https://t.co/u3WkvcXLq9

Private college grabs up "Excelsior Scholarship" domain names to direct students to "fine print" of Cuomo program. https://t.co/u4vaxkD5xV

Cuomo predicted 940,000 students would one day qualify for the Excelsior scholarship. This year, 22,000 received it. https://t.co/K8YjoQW7Ao

"The New York program has a lot of these little wrinkles. They should absolutely not assume that students are fully aware going into it." https://t.co/SJEd2LJUmK

"[Y]ou haven’t failed, the system has failed you." #CUNY adjuncts need 7k per course; they work for poverty wages. https://t.co/4EsMTEtGf6

[PSC/CUNY @PSC_CUNY]

Working people should have freedom to join together in strong #unions to improve their workplaces and provide for their families.

👀 @NYGovCuomo just fully fund #CUNY and #SUNY already. https://t.co/KV5EnepSOj

[Free CUNY @MakeCUNYfree]

Over 70% of the 75k applicants for Cuomo's Excelsior Scholarship were denied—mostly working class and poor students https://t.co/p7FOhVB7J6

New York City, 1970s: Sit-ins at welfare offices, hospital takeovers by the Young Lords, rallies to keep CUNY free https://t.co/whSO6jttyq

[Dissent Magazine @DissentMag]

Free tuition at CUNY was once a potent symbol of New York as a social-democratic city. Can it be brought back? https://t.co/whSO6jttyq

[Marc Edelman @MarcEdelmanNYC]

@MakeCUNYfree That's a lot of $$ for our many CUNY students from very low-income households. Hey, what about @NYGovCuomo's supposed "free" tuition plan?

.@NYGovCuomo's #Excelsior "would affect, at most, 5,000 students at a university system with nearly 250,000." https://t.co/fKXTJ9JTYr #CUNY

[Ben Max @TweetBenMax]

While Cuomo called for more investigations into CUNY admin, his office sought presidents' Excelsior endorsements: https://t.co/2qJwbRvCxy
