One out of every five CUNY students is a parent and child care plays a crucial role in the retention and graduation of these students.
Centers are open during the daytime, evenings, and weekends to accommodate parents' schedules.
Increased State support in 1997-98 will permit child care centers to be established at The Graduate School and York College as well as assure places for the children no longer funded by the federal grant. Over the past two years, increases in State tax levy funding have enabled the University to expand services, although these increases have been tempered by sharp increases in the number of enrolled students with disabilities. Clearinghouse for Assistive Technology Assistive computing technology gives people with disabilities tools for success in learning and in life. Access to appropriate computer technology means access to education and new life opportunities for many people. At CUNY, where approximately 7,000 students who enrolled in Fall 1995 were reported as having special needs, it is imperative that we further develop the technical infrastructure to support the specialized services this rapidly growing population requires.
