 AN ACT to amend the education law and the state finance law, in relation
   to enacting The New Deal for CUNY
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Short title. This enacts "The New Deal for CUNY".
   § 2. Legislative intent. The Legislature hereby  recognizes  the  need
 for  The New Deal for CUNY to ensure that the commitment the Legislature
 articulated in establishing the city university of New York is  extended
 to present and future generations.  The 1961 legislation recognized that
 the creation of a city university as a single unified system was "justi-
 fied"  by the special needs of a multi-racial urban constituency and the
 "vital importance" of creating opportunities for disadvantaged New York-
 ers. Those needs have only grown in the half-century since the  Legisla-
 ture's  action.  Yet  CUNY's  ability  to fulfill them has diminished as
 enrollment has skyrocketed and investment has failed to keep  pace.  The
 New  Deal for CUNY reimagines CUNY as the vital urban university it must
 be if it is to serve the people of New York. It enhances CUNY's historic
 role as a leader in educational  justice  and  economic  transformation.
 This  legislation restores free tuition, ensures adequate faculty staff-
 ing, and aligns student support with nationally  recommended  standards.
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                            LBD01527-03-3
              

 A. 4425--A                          2
 
 In doing so, The New Deal for CUNY restores New York to national leader-
 ship  in  public  higher  education  and removes the barriers to student
 success that have prevented thousands of CUNY  students  from  realizing
 the  full potential of a college degree. The New Deal for CUNY gradually
 increases the  ratio  of  students  to  full-time  faculty  at  CUNY  to
 nationally  recommended  levels,  with  a special emphasis on racial and
 ethnic diversity in hiring. It also replaces the system of  underpayment
 for  contingent  faculty  with  a  dignified  labor system that provides
 students with the support they urgently  need.  CUNY  students,  perhaps
 more  than  any  other  college population in the country, bear stresses
 that make it extraordinarily difficult to  stay  in  college,  sometimes
 even  to  survive.  The  New Deal for CUNY addresses the urgent need for
 student support by gradually escalating the hiring of mental health  and
 other  counselors  to  bring CUNY into line with national standards. The
 New Deal for CUNY  mandates  that  all  tuition  and  student  fees  for
 in-state   undergraduate  students  within  specified  time  frames  for
 completion of degree be eliminated, and that the revenue to the colleges
 that would otherwise derive from tuition and fees be  replaced  annually
 by federal, state, and city funds.
   §  3. Subdivision A of section 6221 of the education law is amended by
 adding a new paragraph 4-b to read as follows:
   4-B. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF LAW, RULE OR REGULATION TO
 THE CONTRARY,  SUBJECT  TO  AMOUNTS  MADE  AVAILABLE  BY  APPROPRIATION,
 COMMENCING  IN  THE  TWO  THOUSAND  TWENTY-FIVE--TWO THOUSAND TWENTY-SIX
 ACADEMIC YEAR, THE CITY UNIVERSITY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO ANNUALLY RECEIVE
 ONE HUNDRED PERCENT REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE ANNUAL  COST  OF  TUITION  AND
 STUDENT  FEES  FOR  EACH  MATRICULATED  UNDERGRADUATE  STUDENT AT A CITY
 UNIVERSITY SENIOR COLLEGE AND  COMMUNITY  COLLEGE  WHO  IS  ENROLLED  IN
 CREDIT-BEARING  ACADEMIC  COURSEWORK  AND  IS ON TRACK TO GRADUATE.  THE
 STATE COMPTROLLER SHALL ESTABLISH A SEPARATE FUND FOR SUCH MONIES TO  BE
 DISTRIBUTED  TO  THE  CITY  UNIVERSITY  OF NEW YORK. THE CITY UNIVERSITY
 SHALL RECEIVE AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE FULL COST OF IN-STATE UNDERGRADUATE
 TUITION AND STUDENT FEES FOR EACH QUALIFYING, MATRICULATED  STUDENT  WHO
 SUCCESSFULLY  COMPLETES  CREDIT-BEARING  ACADEMIC  COURSEWORK  AND IS ON
 TRACK TO GRADUATE. THE FULL COST OF TUITION SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY  ADDI-
 TIONAL  FUNDS  THE  STUDENT MAY RECEIVE FROM ANY OTHER NEW YORK STATE OR
 FEDERAL GRANT, AWARD, OR SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM. THE DEPOSIT OF THESE FUNDS
 SHALL BE UTILIZED AS FIRST DOLLAR AWARDS TO THE  STUDENTS  AT  THE  CITY
 UNIVERSITY.  ANY  STUDENT  NOT  SUCCESSFULLY  COMPLETING  CREDIT-BEARING
 ACADEMIC COURSEWORK IN A SEMESTER SHALL STILL BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE ALL
 OTHER GRANTS, AWARDS, AND SCHOLARSHIPS FOR WHICH THEY QUALIFY BUT  SHALL
 NOT  BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE TUITION AND STUDENT FEE REIMBURSEMENT DESCRIBED
 HEREIN. STUDENTS SHALL BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A ONE  SEMESTER  EXEMPTION
 FROM  THE REQUIREMENT TO COMPLETE CREDIT-BEARING ACADEMIC COURSEWORK FOR
 SUCH TUITION  REIMBURSEMENT  AS  PROMULGATED  BY  THE  HIGHER  EDUCATION
 SERVICES CORPORATION. SUCH EXEMPTION SHALL NOT PRECLUDE ANY STUDENT FROM
 EXERCISING  THEIR  RIGHT TO APPEAL PURSUANT TO HIGHER EDUCATION SERVICES
 CORPORATION POLICY. THE STATE COMPTROLLER SHALL DEPOSIT SUCH MONIES WITH
 THE CITY UNIVERSITY NO LATER THAN THIRTY DAYS AFTER  THE  START  OF  THE
 SEMESTER.
   §  4. Section 6206 of the education law is amended by adding three new
