 AN ACT to amend the education law and the state finance law, in relation
 to enacting The New Deal for CUNY

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Short title. This enacts "The New Deal for CUNY".
 2 § 2. Legislative intent. The Legislature hereby recognizes the need
 3 for The New Deal for CUNY to ensure that the commitment the Legislature
 4 articulated in establishing the city university of New York is extended
 5 to present and future generations. The 1961 legislation recognized that
 6 the creation of a city university as a single unified system was "justi-
 7 fied" by the special needs of a multi-racial urban constituency and the
 8 "vital importance" of creating opportunities for disadvantaged New York-
 9 ers. Those needs have only grown in the half-century since the Legisla-
 10 ture's action. Yet CUNY's ability to fulfill them has diminished as
 11 enrollment has skyrocketed and investment has failed to keep pace. The
 12 New Deal for CUNY reimagines CUNY as the vital urban university it must
 13 be if it is to serve the people of New York. It enhances CUNY's historic
 14 role as a leader in educational justice and economic transformation.
 15 This legislation restores free tuition, ensures adequate faculty staff-
 16 ing, and aligns student support with nationally recommended standards.
 17 In doing so, The New Deal for CUNY restores New York to national leader-
 18 ship in public higher education and removes the barriers to student
 19 success that have prevented thousands of CUNY students from realizing
 20 the full potential of a college degree. The New Deal for CUNY gradually
 21 increases the ratio of students to full-time faculty at CUNY to

 S. 2274 2

 1 nationally recommended levels, with a special emphasis on racial and
 2 ethnic diversity in hiring. It also replaces the system of underpayment
 3 for contingent faculty with a dignified labor system that provides
 4 students with the support they urgently need. CUNY students, perhaps
 5 more than any other college population in the country, bear stresses
 6 that make it extraordinarily difficult to stay in college, sometimes
 7 even to survive. The New Deal for CUNY addresses the urgent need for
 8 student support by gradually escalating the hiring of mental health and
 9 other counselors to bring CUNY into line with national standards. The
 10 New Deal for CUNY mandates that all tuition and student fees for
 11 in-state undergraduate students within specified time frames for
 12 completion of degree be eliminated, and that the revenue to the colleges
 13 that would otherwise derive from tuition and fees be replaced annually
 14 by federal, state, and city funds.
 15 § 3.
