Statement from Comptroller Scott M. Stringer on Governor Cuomo’s Plan to Make State Colleges Tuition-Free
January 3, 2017
“Making college tuition-free for working families will be a major step forward for our students, our city, and all of New York. College is a necessity in the 21st century, and if we are to compete as a city, we need to give everyone a fair shot to succeed. Access to higher education should be a right for all, not just a privilege for a few. This proposal is both the smart approach and the right thing to do. I applaud Governor Cuomo for taking on this critical issue.”
