Co-sponsorship


The Brooklyn College PSC Executive Committee welcomes requests to endorse the statements or initiatives of other organizations and co-sponsor events on campus.  To receive consideration, requests should be submitted in writing to the Chapter Chair at least two weeks in advance of the event, initiative, or statement release.  The Executive Committee will consider the following:
·      The relevance of the event, initiative, or statement to the BC PSC chapter’s goals
·      The anticipated advantages and disadvantages to the BC PSC chapter of endorsement or co-sponsorship
·      The impact of any financial support associated with endorsement or sponsorship on the BC PSC chapter’s budget
An event, initiative, or statement that is endorsed or co-sponsored by the BC PSC chapter will be publicized on the chapter website: pscbc.blogspot.com.  Co-sponsorship of an event does not indicate concurrence with the views of all participants or the endorsement of the PSC as a whole.  BC PSC may request that union materials are available at events that it co-sponsors.

CUNY First Computer System to Aid Administrative Control over Colleges at the Expense of Efficiency and Effectiveness

Guest Post   Every once in a while I get a question, either privately or in a department meeting, regarding CUNYFirst. Here is what I know of CUNYFirst, based on a few years of working with the project as a "training liaison" (which is a fancy term for room-scheduler). (1) The idea of CUNYFirst is a good one: to have a unified, integrated "enterprise"-scale system that encompasses all university/campus business processes. Such a system could, in principle at least, have saved a lot of expenditure on maintaining dozens of disparate, redundant, barely cooperating third-party systems. Such a system could have offered information access that would have benefited the administration, the staff, the faculty, and students. (2) CUNY Central's motives in pursuing CUNYFirst were dominated by an agenda that has nothing to do with such benefits however. Rather, CUNY Central sought absolute control over all college activity, including curriculum. Think of it: whoev...

93% Vote No Confidence in Pathways

The referendum votes have been tallied: a total of 4,322 votes were cast, out of a total number of 7,202 possible votes: a 60% turnout. Of those, 3,996 full-time faculty agreed that they have No Confidence in Pathways, with only 323 voting Disagree (and 3 void ballots). An absolute majority of the full-time faculty are on record as having no confidence in Pathways. That is a stunning rebuke to the new curriculum and the coercive process used to implement it. I will send a longer message to the entire membership shortly, but for now I want to congratulate you all on your extraordinary collective effort in defense of our students' right to a rigorous education. Equipped with this result, we can take the campaign to a new level in the fall. In solidarity, Barbara Bowen
