With tuition rising across CUNY’s more than twenty schools, many students are becoming frustrated. The Students for a Free CUNY group is taking that frustration one step further, calling on the CUNY administration to abolish tuition altogether and make CUNY free, like it was 40 years ago.

The CUNY Chancellor’s office has pointed out that CUNY schools are still some of the cheapest in the U.S., but that hasn’t stopped thousands of students from taking to the streets to voice their anger.
