๐ Great news for Buff State! Enrollment is up and residence hall occupancy is on the rise thanks to scholarship incentives for students. ๐๐ Let's keep the momentum going! New York needs a #NewDeal4HigherEd to fully fund public higher education across the state. NY students deserve the very best. @NYSUT @UUPInfo @SUNYย

NY NEEDS Downstate! The world-class services at this public teaching hospital are an integral part of what makes our state great. To close it would be more than a loss for just this community, it would be a loss for us all. #BrooklynNeedsDownstate and so does NY! @nysut @uupinfo

"You make Downstate better... you don't close Downstate!" @rweingarten #BrooklynNeedsDownstate
Send a letter to elected leaders today at actionnetwork.org/groups/uup
SUNY Downstate cares for thousands of patients every year and trains the next generation of healthcare professionals to care for even more patients. We cannot allow this vital New York institution to close!

The latest NYS budget proposal arbitrarily changes elements of the Foundation Aid formula to cut funding to schools. This is a sharp turn from last yearโs historic step of fully fund school aid. NY should honor its promise to our schools. @nysut

Community colleges are gateways of opportunity. This weekโs news that @SUNYRockland is facing cuts is devastating. NY needs to invest in a #NewDealforHigherEd so our colleges and universities can support the workers of tomorrow. @NYSUT

Closing @sunydownstate is a mistake. #BrooklynNeedsDownstate, which offers specialized care including the only kidney transplant program in the borough. Now is the time to invest in Brooklyn's healthcare, not diminish it. @uupdownstatech @uupinfo @nysut
Closing SUNY Downstate Hospital "will undoubtedly harm the health of the central Brooklyn community," UUP President Fred Kowal says in the @nytimes article from @JoeKGoldstein about SUNY's plan to close the Brooklyn public teaching hospital.

We are devastated by the loss of two of the members of the @NYSUT family and the #dalerstrong community. Our hearts go out to the entire Farmingdale Federation of Teachers and their students. @FFTStrong
Two teachers from Farmingdale High School, Beatrice Ferrari and Gina Pellettiere, died after a bus ride to band camp in Pennsylvania crashed.
Ferrari, 77, taught history at Farmingdale High School for more than 30 years; Pellettiere, 43, taught music for close to two decades.
Ferrari, whom some called the grandmother of the Farmingdale High School band, had retired but still served as a chaperone on trips; Pellettiere, who played some 20 instruments but excelled at trumpet, had led her musicians for more than a decade on trips to perform at Rockefeller Center and state and county music contests.
Those who knew both best described them as wonderful educators but even better people. Read about their lives here: tinyurl.com/5b8npkhf
