On May 11, a small but mighty group trekked to LaGuardia Community College to speak truth to power at the CUNY Board of Trustees Public Hearing! We walked through metal detectors, had our bags searched, and sat in an auditorium where security officers seemed to outnumber the speakers. A bold bloc of students, HEOs, adjuncts, and full-time faculty testified about safety, understaffing and ongoing mismanagement at Queens College. Notably, we were the only Queens campus with a broad coalition speaking on a spectrum of issues, leaving the impression that our school is in unique disarray. The BoT is required to hold these hearings on a regular basis, so please considering testifying at the next one. It’s important that we raise these issues publicly and on the record!
