Act Now - PSC

Campaign Unavailable We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Act Now - PSC.The short explanation of this alert was: The introduction of a Tier V pension on public higher education does not represent a responsible choice for closing the budget gap. A reduced pension tier would do very little to address the state's immediate budget crisis and would not substantially increase revenue for another ten years.
Moreover, a lower pension tier would be devastating to public higher education, because CUNY and SUNY recruit faculty and professional staff on the national market. A fair pension is a critical component of the compensation package in higher education, and the proposed Tier V would greatly disadvantage New York's public institutions of higher learning.
