CUNY students spoke out against Gov. Kathy Hochul’s proposal for a CUNY tuition hike—the first increase since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019.
, he will become Dr. Jamell Henderson and a five-time CUNY grad. “Twenty years of being a student––and a student advocate––because this university is so important for people like myself who live in NYCHA,” Henderson told the crowd assembled in front of Brooklyn’s Borough Hall on a bitter-cold Sunday afternoon.
Hochul is proposing a 3% annual tuition hike. CUNY protestors want the proposal shot down; instead, they’re pushing state legislators to enact New Deal for CUNY legislation, which would call for schools to set a ratio of approximately 15 students to one full-time professor; set aside funds for repairs at schools that have deteriorating infrastructure; raise the salaries of adjunct professors; and make CUNY tuition-free.
“Don’t say that you care about public higher education and underfund public higher education,” State Senator Andrew Gounardes said about Hochul’s proposed tuition hike.
