More than a year in the making, the grassroots mAsk4CampusEquity arts-based campaign for Campus Equity Week 2017 invites the full spectrum of higher education activists from new members to veteran leaders to participate. Visit the campaign website at www.campusequity2017.com to be inspired!
The site offers historical context, eleven different types of projects that are not difficult to implement, and a toolkit with downloadable graphic designs https://campusequitytoolkit.wixsite.com/cewtoolkit2017
and a link to a virtual store https://newfacultymajority.myshopify.com/ where mAsk4CampusEquity buttons and stickers can be ordered (union made, of course!).
The social media accounts linked to the website are”Campus Equity Week 2017″ on Facebook and @2017CEW on Twitter where we ask you to use hashtags #2017CEW and #mask4ce.

Action on SUNY’s Charter Proposal for own teacher preparation program
Date posted: July 25, 2017

https://networkforpubliceducation.org/2017/07/9535/
NYS official public comment period to begin soon:
We expect the state’s official call for public comments to be posted in the NYS Register next week. I’ll send a message when it’s posted.
Background:
SUNY’s Charter School Committee met on July 6 and approved proposed regulatory changes that would allow SUNY-authorized charter schools to create their own teacher preparation programs and circumvent NYS teacher certification requirements.
SUNY’s proposals are posted at the following link
