The Ever-Higher Costs of Higher Ed: Student Debt and the Decline of Funding in NYC

Originally presented December 5, 2016. After World War II, federal and state funding to public higher education increased dramatically. But since the 1970's governments have been investing less, and student debt has been steadily rising. The panel will explore this history and current efforts to restore the public commitment. Stephen Brier and Michael Fabricant (CUNY), authors of the newly published Austerity Blues: Fighting for the Soul of Public Higher Education, provide historical background. David Saltonstall, Assistant Comptroller for Policy, discusses the current impact on New York City students and the view from government. Thomas L. Harnisch, Director of State Relations and Policy Analysis at the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, will provide a national perspective on the crisis and legislative efforts. Stephanie Saul of the New York Times moderates. Co-sponsored by The Museum of the City of New York, The New York Public Interest Research Group, The Greater New York Labor-Religion Coalition, ​and the CUNY University Student Senate.
