Art Department at Brooklyn College

Please contact Professor Ball for zoom details if you'd like to attend!

Students, Colleagues, and Alums of the Brooklyn Collect Art Department: 2100 CUNY faculty of all disciplines, ranks and colleges signed the letter below (started by two BC professors!) sent to Governor Cuomo calling on him to reverse course and fund CUNY including most of us. (here is the link) Please consider signing and circulating as we are approaching a budget deadline for NY State. If you are on social media Tweet @NYGovCuomo about the letter and use the hashtag: #CuomoFundCUNYNOW ideally every day for the next two weeks. Or call Cuomo's office (518-474-8390). Mention your support of the letter and demand no cuts to CUNY and funding to restore our campuses instead. https://docs.google.com//1FWf8QGNsx5Z4bZ4uF3WqNrasks/edit
