CUNY WEEK
"The Time is Now To Invest in CUNY" -- This is the theme of CUNY Week. Between March 21 and March 29, PSC chapters across CUNY are organizing events whose purpose is to generate more city and state investment in the City University. A calendar of events is listed below as well as a reproduction of a postcard that thousands of faculty, staff and students will be signing and sending to Christine Quinn, Speaker of the City Council. The postcard urges the City Council to add millions more to the Mayor's proposed budget for the university.
