CUNY orders deeper spending cuts, putting course options and student services at riskwww.nydailynews.com The City University of New York is slashing tens of millions from college budgets across eight of its 25 campuses, including York, Brooklyn and Queens Colleges.

I think one of the NYT writers had lunch once at an Olive Garden where a CUNY grad was at the adjoining table.

Yeah, if only there was a decent-sized local paper that gave a crap about important higher ed stories....

Off topic a bit, but I remember when the Daily News was an actual paper, with good reporters and great columnists who would be all over this kind of thing. Pete Hamill, Jimmy Breslin, among many others. Now only the Times with it's elite coverage

"Elite" should have been in quotes

Some CUNYs are more equal than others. I can't imagine my campus cutting more. We had no writing ctr until 2021, two counselors for 17k students, nowhere to eat, ceiling tiles hitting us on the way out . . .

Rats. Paywall. Hopefully Times will get to it since I already pay them.

What a mess CUNY has been and seems still to be.
