Title of bill
An act to amend the education law, in relation to authorizing active members of the United States armed forces stationed in New York state to be charged tuition at a rate no greater than that imposed for students who are residents of New York state for city university of New York schools
Purpose
To require CUNY to charge members of the United States armed forces stationed in New York State in state tuition, regardless of what state they are from.
Summary of provisions
Subparagraphs (ii) and (iii) of paragraph (a) of subdivision 7 of section 6206 of the education law, as amended by chapter 327 of the laws of 2002 are amended and a new subparagraph (iv) is added
Justification
New York State is home to several military bases wherein soldiers from around the country may be stationed, some for extended periods. During their free time some of these men and women may want to take courses and pursue higher education, and it is a courtesy and an honor for our State to treat them as residents for tuition purposes. The State University of New York school system already charges in state tuition to service members stationed in New York, and it is improper that the city University of New York system does not as well.
