Dear Member of the CUNY community:
Please take a moment to visit www.supportcuny.org. The 2012-13 New York State Executive Budget for CUNY is currently under review by the State Legislature. Time is of the essence. This year the Legislature has accelerated the budget timetable. Budget conference committees will be starting early and the Legislature is aiming to finish passage of the budget one week prior to the April 1st deadline. We are asking for additional support, consistent with record student enrollment increases and the importance of maintaining and enhancing the quality of education and student services. CUNY is seeking a community college base aid increase this year of at least $100 per full-time equivalent (FTE )student. Over the past four years base aid has been reduced by over 20% or $553 per FTE.
