Come one, come all, to the 2nd Adjunct Project workshop in our new series! Governor Cuomo has all but passed an incredibly eviscerating state budget that will “leave [New York] with 6,100 fewer teachers, 20 fewer fire companies and 100 fewer senior centers,” the NYTimes reported today. Undoubtedly, this kind of intense economic attack will hit us hard in CUNY as management tries to pass off cuts to us, our colleagues, and our students while we undergo this difficult contract campaign.
