During the March meeting of the Board of Trustees, Chancellor Milliken provided an update on state budget negotiations and said there must be no cut to CUNY’s budget. “As we continue to work with state leaders on the budget, we will not lose sight of the goal of continuing to provide the highest quality, affordable education to those students who, in so many instances, prove they can do the most with it…The investments that the taxpayers have made in CUNY continue to provide enormous returns as our colleges and leaders create new programs and new opportunities for our students, all contributing to the atmosphere of excellence at CUNY.”
