I am deeply concerned about ongoing underfunding of Brooklyn College and CUNY. Tuition has gone up year after year but state spending hasn’t. Classes are getting larger and harder to get into, staff and faculty have been without a contractual raise for 5 years, building conditions are deteriorating, and student services are becoming harder to obtain. Students shouldn’t have to take on crushing debt or full-time work to finance a public education. Please show your support for the value of a public education at CUNY and the dignity of its students.  I ask you to work in Albany for full funding for CUNY, including its employee contracts, and increase financial aid without burdening students with higher tuition.
