Chancellor’s Report to the Board of Trustees

In his report to the Board of Trustees, Chancellor Milliken commented on several aspects of the 2016 Executive Budget including CUNY’s role in a plan to offer college-level instruction in state prisons and a renewed effort to pass a state DREAM Act. The Chancellor also noted that CUNY’s online bachelor’s degree program at the School of Professional Studies and CUNY School of Law had recently received national recognition. Regarding proposed shifts in state funding, Chancellor Milliken said: “We will not lose sight of the real interests at stake, the education and the futures of the over 500,000 students served everyday by The City University of New York.”
