UUP releases ambitious, progressive 2021-2022 legislative agenda—NY HEALS

United University Professions has issued a wide-ranging 2021-2022 state legislative agenda that rejects Gov. Cuomo’s proposed Executive Budget cuts and calls for the State University of New York to commit to an expanded role in meeting the challenges our society faces.

“The governor has proposed two budgets, one with cuts and one where the budget is flat,” said UUP President Frederick E. Kowal. “This is a false choice. UUP says there is another way.”

“We propose a package that would increase access to healthcare and higher education, essential mission funding for our SUNY public hospitals, and a sustainable path forward for the state,” Kowal continued. “This more ambitious option is made possible by calling on the wealthiest New Yorkers to pay their fair share.”

UUP’s legislative agenda, New York HEALS (Healthcare, Education, Access, Leadership, Sustainability) is an avenue to reach these progressive goals.
