Student Health Insurance
Dear Friends,
As you know, one of our top legislative priorities this year is acquiring health
insurance for doctoral students who serve as graduate or teaching assistants
at CUNY. More particularly, we’re seeking to achieve parity with
SUNY in this regard. The current fiscal climate complicates that enterprise,
but we are pressing forward on multiple fronts.
I’m pleased to say that Chancellor Goldstein has been extremely supportive
of our efforts, and has co-signed with me a letter to Kenneth LaValle and Deborah
Glick, the chairs of the New York State Senate and Assembly committees on Higher
Education. I attach that letter for your reference. I also ask your
help in writing to Senator LaValle lavalle@senate.state.ny.us and
Assemblymember Glick glickd@assembly.state.ny.us in
support of this initiative.
Sincerely,
Bill Kelly
