NYPIRG Says "No More Cuts!": Interview with QCC Student

New York State Governor Paterson's latest proposals include plans to reduce Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) aid by $120 per student, cut funding for opportunity programs, and cut CUNY community colleges by $10 million ($260 per student). These hits come on top of last weeks proposal from the governor to cut $53 million from CUNY senior colleges. NYPIRG warned that the governors plans will hurt the poorest students most, and lead to further increases in class sizes, fewer course offerings, elimination of certain majors, or even another unfair tuition hike.
