[Donkees]

I am proud to support the New Deal for CUNY campaign calling on New York state to tax the rich and make CUNY tuition-free for poor and working-class students.

Together, we will make this a reality at public colleges and universities across America.

1. I was in the last tuition-free CUNY graduating class.

Well into middle age. Boosted me into the middle class.

4. Forget when the last one was, but I was CCNY '69.

2. I should probably look it up but, what's the difference between CUNY and SUNY?

I thought SUNY already had a tuition program that stipulated a minimum NY state residency for "X" number of years to receive the Tuition benefits - which I thought was "free"

3. City University of NY and State University of NY. Completely separate
