CUNY orders deeper spending cuts, putting course options and student services at risk - CAYLA BAMBERGER, New York Daily News

The City University of New York is slashing tens of millions of dollars from college budgets across eight of its 25 campuses, potentially gutting course offerings and student services from counseling to recordkeeping, the Daily News has learned. Central administration ordered the schools — including York, Brooklyn and Queens  colleges — to submit “enhanced deficit reduction plans” that find savings and boost revenue this school year and next, according to one of the college memos obtained by The News. The directive comes as the city’s public university system was cut by $23 million last month under Mayor Adams’ revised municipal budget, documents show.
