Defending Public Higher Education Conference – Excellent!

Dear Commons Community,

The CUNY Graduate Center hosted the Defending Public Higher Education Conference today.  Sponsored by the PSC, it was a well-attended event (about 200 participants) with a host of speakers (Gary Rhoades, Barbara Bowen, Frank Mauro, Frances Fox Piven) who provided evidence and insight into the issue of funding for public higher education in this country.  Connections were made to the need for a unified effort on the part of the entire CUNY community and for building collaboration with the Occupy Wall Street movement.  An excellent day all around and made one proud to be part of this great university of the people.

Tony
