Statement from Governor Andrew M. Cuomo on CUNY and PSC Tentative Contract Agreement That Supports CUNY Faculty So They Can Provide a World Class Education to New York's Students

"A fair day's pay for a fair days work is the principle that New York was founded upon and I'm proud that this contract for the first time ever has been expanded to cover adjunct professors and full-time faculty alike - all to the ultimate benefit of CUNY's students. CUNY and the Professional Staff Congress should be applauded for their hard work to reach this historic, nationally significant agreement, which will improve the educational experience across the board in the CUNY system. With the tentative agreement now in place, we can look forward to its full ratification by the CUNY board, and faculty and professional staff can continue to focus on developing New York's next generation of leaders by providing a world-class education right here in the city."
