Brooklyn College PSC-CUNY

BC Faculty were among the nearly 100 PSC members who made the trip to Albany on April 24, 2018, to meet with 26 members of the NY State Assembly and Senate, urging their support for a major salary increase for CUNY adjunct faculty, who currently teach roughly 60 percent of our courses.  The demand is $7K minimum per 3-credit course, and the message was simple: Wage justice for the faculty, Educational justice for the students.  After lobbying visits, the PSC contingent rallies in the State Capitol Building  Gearing up for lobbying visits, BC faculty members Ramsey Scott, James Davis, Ken Estey, and Naomi Schiller.

Brooklyn College PSC collaborated with NYPIRG, NY Communities for Change, AFT, and other members of the CUNY Rising Alliance to host a public hearing on April 25, 2018, at the BC Library.  CUNY Students testified for over an hour and heard remarks from elected officials, including NY State Assembly Member Rodneyse Bichotte, City Council Members Inez Barron, Robert Holden, and Jumaane Williams (who sent remarks via community relations director Ernest Skinner), and NY City Public Advocate Letitia James.
