Dear Colleagues:
As you know, for the past several months, we’ve been working very hard to get the Maintenance of Effort legislation passed by the legislature and signed by the governor. The first half of the fight was completed just before the legislative session ended. The second half has been underway since then.
Take a moment to read the following op ed from Newsday: http://www.newsday.com/opinion/editorial/college-degree-shouldn-t-destroy-middle-class-1.10786273.
It appears that the press sees this as an important issue and have independently articulated that importance to future of public higher education in New York.
Please share this op ed with your chapter membership.
In Solidarity,
Fred Kowal
