On May 2nd, 2012, peaceful students and faculty experienced unnecessary brutality on the Brooklyn College campus for sitting down in front of the President’s office demanding to meet with them. Brooklyn College President Karen Gould ordered for students to be violently removed by campus security from outside of her office in a main academic building; two students were wrongly arrested, spent a night in jail, and face unsubstantiated charges.

Over the next five years, CUNY students face a $1,500 tuition increase.  At the same time as cuts to student services and increased securitization on CUNY Campuses-- from the NYPD systematic spying on Muslim Student Associations, to Stop and Frisk racial profiling policies on and off our campuses, to attacks by security guards and NYPD on peaceful students at the Board of Trustees Meeting on November 21st, 2011 at Baruch College.
We refuse to allow this to be the future of CUNY!

Sign the Petition to End Tuition Hikes, Over-Policing of CUNY, and Drop Charges
