“We are thrilled that
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver has made a commitment to increase support for
SUNY’s community colleges.
“His recognition of the
state’s obligation to fund community colleges at fair and sustainable levels not
only highlights his commitment to their critical role in workforce development,
but also to relieving the tuition burden that for far too long has fallen on
the shoulders of students and their families.
“I commend Speaker Silver’s
decision to make this pledge on such a momentous day for the people of New
York, and I in turn pledge SUNY’s support in working with the Speaker to help
realize this increased investment in our state’s future.”
