“Today, the Student Assembly celebrates a step that will make higher education more accessible and affordable for millions of students. Nearly 1 million students have chosen the State University of New York as their home for higher education and this debt cancellation shall open the doors for so many more students who look towards SUNY for their future.
Investment in higher education is an important step in investing in the future of our State.
