BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Board of Trustees authorize the Chancellor or his designee to make necessary adjustments to Other Eligible Uses category plan up to five percent of the allocations provided herein to ensure that students, faculty and staff are receiving the benefit of these resources in the most timely and efficient manner and to report such changes back to the Board of Trustees Committee on Fiscal Affairs as part of the quarterly reporting of the colleges’ budget condition; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the University will provide quarterly reports to the Board of Trustees’ Committee on Fiscal Affairs on expenditures related to the CRRSAA and ARPA funds. EXPLANATION:
CUNY’s colleges are the recipients of federal stimulus funding to help partially offset financial hardship brought on by the pandemic. At a meeting of the Board of Trustees’ Fiscal Affairs Committee in June 2021, the University presented a plan to the Committee which outlined how colleges were to spend their remaining federal stimulus institutional funds. There were specific categories of use that the colleges were required to meet, and a campus discretionary category called “Other Eligible Uses”. University management committed to the Board Fiscal Affairs Committee that they would present a separate plan on the “Other Eligible Uses” category to the Board Fiscal Affairs Committee, at a subsequent meeting, for approval. The colleges were required to submit a spending plan for this category to the University Budget Office, which after review, is now being presented for the consideration of the Board of Trustees.

Enhancing Access and Enhancing Learning
Invest in CUNY’s continued excellence in our undergraduate and graduate degree programs as well as enhancements of teaching staff and resources to strengthen classroom learning
Innovative Pedagogy New pedagogical innovations (e.g. “flipped” courses) where students are more actively involved with the course material can to lead to better learning outcomes. CUNY proposes to redesign at least 1,000 course sections within the next two years and embed academic support (e.g. teaching assistants, peer tutors) in 2,500 gateway course sections as well.
Graduate Education Strengthen CUNY’s MA and PhD program offerings as a way to increase affordability and access to graduate-level education. This includes hiring 75 new faculty members and investing in the development of an online education platform to host courses. The University will also invest additional funds for doctoral stipends to ensure our PhD graduate-level students are compensated to meet their living and academic-related expenses while they complete their studies.
Investment in Full-Time Faculty Increase the number of full-time faculty positions on staff and reduce reliance on a part-time teaching workforce. This allows for greater stability in course offerings, faculty/student mentoring and creates a career pathway for our faculty. Undertake initiative to convert approximately 3,000 adjunct faculty lines to 500 full-time lecturer positions, which will allow for staffing stability in the University’s academic divisions and provide a defined career pathway for part-time teaching faculty.
CUNY’s faculty have made numerous and important contributions in their respected fields and continued investment further solidifies the University’s research program. Additional cluster hires in the sciences along with start-up and seed funding will grow and support the University’s research pipeline.
Online Educational Resources The State has provided $4M in the creation of Online Educational Resources (OER) that allow students to obtain course materials inexpensively. This request is for the City to match the $4M amount and greatly benefits our community college students where textbook and course material expenses can create a barrier to learning.
College Readiness Expand investment in CUNY’s current roster of P-16 initiatives that bolster the preparedness of elementary, middle school and high school students for college-level learning. These initiatives include programs such as CUNY on Track, College Now, Early College/P-Tech Schools and various teacher training and career support programs.

Serving Adult Learners CUNY plans to provide outreach and services to students who are returning to higher education after having spent time in the workforce. New York State currently has 1.8 million adults with some college but no degrees, and almost half of these adults live in New York City. CUNY will widen its doors to adult and returning students so they can earn the degrees that will boost their careers and improve the lives of working class families. New recruitment and marketing strategies, as well as adult-friendly programs and supports such as customized industry-specific curricula, personalized academic and career counseling, and credit for prior learning and licensure will be implemented to achieve this goal.
Embracing the Future of Work/Advancing Social Mobility
Internships Internships provide invaluable work experience for our students and further prepares them for finding jobs after graduation. CUNY plans to expand our successful CUNY Corps programs that have provided student interns with opportunities to work on projects supporting our city’s small businesses, public health organizations, community-based nonprofits, government agencies and schools.
Applied Associate (AAS) Degrees Terminal associate degrees in specific fields allow students to start working right after they graduate. For many technical and professional careers, an AAS is an attractive pathway to being able to learn the skills needed to start a career. CUNY is looking to expand enrollment in current AAS programs in areas such as healthcare and medical technology. This would involve new faculty hires as well as realigning course offerings to the latest knowledge with an eye towards students’ job readiness and workforce preparation.
Career Engagement and Development Centers CUNY’s career centers are often the resource gateway for connections and networking support for students looking for professional work opportunities while in school and after they complete their degrees. With continued efforts to strengthen the University’s connections to New York City’s government and corporate leaders, the career centers are in need of additional funds to increase recruiting and employer outreach, enhance subscriptions to job sites and increase career counseling services.
Workforce Innovation Initiatives The University has made inroads in creating industry partnerships such as the CUNY Futures in Finance, a comprehensive workforce development initiative to cultivate and train CUNY students for careers in the financial industry. It was established in partnership with financial firms Bloomberg LP, Centerbridge Partners and Goldman Sachs. Further investment in other initiatives such as this one will provide talented CUNY students with training, mentorship and access to other industries. In addition, CUNY is looking to expand workplace opportunities for women and underrepresented groups, particularly in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) and will look to continued partnerships with tech industry leaders to promote our students into careers in their chosen fields.

CUNY launched its Upskilling Challenge that began a year ago to provide students, alumni and New Yorkers with free opportunities to train in areas that are highly demanded by employers. In addition to more than 30 curated offerings from partners like Microsoft, Google, General Assembly, and Salesforce, CUNY is looking to introduce new courses and programs with additional funding.
Student Well-Being
Student Wellness Our students encounter obstacles not only inside the classroom but outside of it as well. CUNY already offers a myriad of services to students and further support is needed to address the other expenses of being able to pursue a degree in higher education: housing, food, Metrocards to cover transit expenses, and having staff who can help screen students not only for financial aid but to see if they qualify for city and state benefits.
Child Care Many of our students are also parents of young children and expanding child care services at our colleges would remove one of the factors that can affect degree completion progress.
Mental Health Services The federal stimulus funds have enabled the University to expand mental health service offerings to our students. State and City continued funding will allow the services and staff to stay in place as well as offer the same services to students in the graduate and professional schools.
Expand Campus Health Services CUNY’s student wellness centers provide critical information and health services to students who may not have other options available. Through increased resources and partnerships with community-based health clinics, the University will be equipped to address the health needs and concerns of our students.
Optimizing Infrastructure
Facilities Maintenance and Enhancements The University is requesting additional operating funds to maintain the various infrastructures of our colleges. The University’s multiyear capital budget has enabled CUNY to create new state-of-the-art facilities and to renovate and upgrade existing facilities. However, these facilities regular maintenance and enhancements in order to sustain their ongoing functionality. CUNY colleges have had to defer routine maintenance for years because of fiscal pressures. The result has led to facility degradation in the near term and significantly increased facility operating and routine maintenance expenses.
Guttman Community College The newest member of the University’ community college family has out-grown the leased space that has been in use since its founding. A new home will provide a pivotal anchor for a college that has re-imagined what community college student success looks like.

Sustainability and Reducing CUNY’s Carbon Footprint CUNY is committed to reducing our energy usage and carbon footprint and requests funds for sustainability initiatives as well as to invest in more ways to improve the University’s environmental impact.
Establish Emergency Response Team The University is continuing to re-think our operations resulting from the pandemic as well as weather storm events due to climate change, and it has become clear that an emergency response team is needed to coordinate future critical issues that will impact the safety and well-being of our students, faculty and staff.
FY2023 University Capital Budget Request
Capital Budget
CUNY’s capital request reflects a new environmental reality in New York City. COVID has changed the way we work and learn and buildings we use have to be updated to reflect it. Hurricane Ida further illuminated the need to prepare for harsh weather conditions generated by climate change. The number one priority is the implementation of HVAC upgrades on campuses identified by the engineering consultant we recently hired. CUNY requests $150 million to address HVAC Systems that will improve energy efficiency, upgrade ventilation systems and enhance indoor air quality - specifics equipment upgrades include air handling units, HVAC controls, heating and cooling systems, building supply and exhaust fans. In addition, CUNY requests another $50 million to address window upgrades throughout the university. The second new initiative is an emergency response team. CUNY needs internal capacity to address emergencies such a building generators, tree pruning, and pumping equipment, etc. CUNY needs the ability to be proactive rather than reactive in certain situations. The request is for $10 million dollars to complement the operating request for staff. CUNY also needs to update the technology in more classrooms for both in class experiences as well as improved remote experiences. Therefore CUNY is requesting another $20 million university wide for both Senior and Community Colleges to address the need for Smart Classrooms and Digital Technology upgrades.These requests are on top of CUNY’s campus by campus request to upgrade our aging facilities.
New university-wide initiativesHVAC Updates - $120Million Senior/$40 Million CC, Based on consultant studies of campus HVAC this is a request to fund HVAC Systems updates that will improve energy efficiency, upgrade ventilation systems and enhance indoor air quality - specific equipment upgrades include air handling units, HVAC controls, heating and cooling systems, building supply and exhaust fans. There are also existing college requests for upgrades this will work to address.
Window Replacements $50 Million Senior/$10 Million CC, the consultant studies also highlighted the outdated windows throughout the university that need replacement. There are also existing requests for upgrades this will work to address it. Smart Classroom and Digital Technology Upgrades to classrooms $8Million Senior/$2 Million CC, to provide the technology for both smart classrooms and to enhance online education. Equipment includes cameras, projection screens as well and cabling, power upgrades as well as some building construction.Emergency Equipment $10 Million to purchase emergency equipment for the proposed new unit. Recent experience shows CUNY needs internal capacity to address emergencies. Types of equipment planned include flexible generators, tree removal, and pumping equipment. CUNY needs the ability to be proactive rather than reactive in certain situations. We are too reliant on consultants to come in during emergencies.

FY2023 University Capital Budget Request
Next Generation Academic Administrative Systems $175 million The PeopleSoft Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system called CUNYfirst has been in production at the university for over a decade. During that time the University has continued to maintain, upgrade and expand the system to meet increasingly complex business requirements. CUNYfirst supports the financial, HR and student administration functions in the University. CUNY is currently upgrading the system to version 9.2 of the PeopleSoft, the latest and supported version of the software, to further enhance and improve features and functionality for our constituents. The system has and continues to operate in a traditional architecture, running the applications and databases in the CUNY datacenter. CUNY seeks to begin its transformation to modern, cloud based architectures and leverage the Software-as- a-Service system model for our academic administration systems. This transformative project will migrate the university’s core ERP functions to modern cloud solutions providing CUNY with the opportunity to improve its agility, simplify system administration, empower users and provide access to software vendors’ latest enhancements, innovations and long-term support benefits. CUNY seeks to complete this complex project well before, 2032, the announced Oracle end-of-life date, for the current PeopleSoft system.
The request includes two components to address the need for Next Generation Academic Systems. The first to enhance and extend the portfolio of existing services and the second initiates CUNY’s IT roadmap and planned transition to cloud based systems.
Campus Specific Requests
Most of CUNY’s request is a similar to last year where priorities were not funded. The state of good repair on all campuses remain the priority as buildings and systems continue to age,
Select new building requests are also included in the request for consideration.

Many Higher Education Institutions are Starting Cloud Migrations with HCM and Financials, with Student Information to Follow
▪ Sequencing implementation of HCM and Financials ahead of Student Information Systems (SIS) is consistent with current
market trends observed by Gartner
▪ Cloud solution capabilities for HCM and Financials Management are mature, with multiple years of implementation
experience and customer feedback, while SIS capabilities continue to mature.
▪ Most major software vendors have established systems integrator partner networks to support the configuration,
implementation, support and integration of their software along with other components, such as SIS, when CUNY goes to
market for that capability.
“To date, many institutions have focused much of their modernization efforts on
moving human capital management (HCM) and financial management to the
cloud/SaaS; as we continue to see a slow and steady rise in hosted migrations for SIS
systems.”
