57. CUNY should cut the tuition.

r/CUNY
I find it so frustrating how CUNY is charging us the full amount as if we are attending classes in
person. Online classes are generally MUCH cheaper than in person classes. Why are we still being An online Meet-up for CUNY students to
charged for technology and student activity fees? We are not in school physically to use any of the discuss what ever it is you wish to discuss!
technology they offer. CUNY is seriously the worst. This frustrates me because I don’t get any 45k 33
scholarship OR financial aid or tap. I pay everything out of my own pocket. mambare eniins

I've registered for more classes than I actually need. This is my final semester so Im waiting explicit permission.

to see how each of the professors will conduct the class.

One of my professors has uploaded the entire course content yesterday. I read the syllabus, Moderators
looked at the assignment and drop the class immediately! This person said that they will
accept emails from students only once a week at a given day and between certain hours. Like
what the actual fuck? And we're paying for that? The course work was unrealistic for an
online class.

Fall is my final semester where I'm taking basically all finance classes. I'm taking audit for
Summer II and we have a group project where we're supposed to interview store owners
about internal controls. Lmao gtfoh. My team doesn't respond, we haven't started yet, it’s
30 percent of my grade. She’s out of her goddamned mind. Such BS.

Honestly that's the worst! Some professors are just unrealistic in their expectations. I
don't mind group projects cause I always take the lead and tell others what to do. Most
of the time my group mates either liked me approach to things or hated it. I had no
time for bullshit cause I was working up to 65 hours a week. I had a situation last fall
where this one person was in tears begging me not to submit the presentation without
their part and I simply said that I do not care. We had a month to work on it. They were
not responding to any of my emails, messages any outside of the class room

conversation, until the day it was due and it was due at 6am before class starts.

Most CUNY profs are adjuncts. If they're not teaching summer classes they're not getting
paid till fall.

Then perhaps they should adjust the syllabus to where your grade isn’t contingent upon
your group being competent.

I reported my psychology professor last semester for not doing any virtual class. I ended up
getting a C-. My professor expected her students to read over 50 pages from a textbook to
prepare for a quiz without no lectures. The purpose of professors is to give context so their
students can understand the concepts.

I had a psych class like that last semester. Basically it was no lectures, only powerpoint slides
which weren't even helpful. Read the chapter on your own, and then do 50 question quiz per
chapter and we pretty much covered the entire book. So it was 16, 50 question quizzes, on
top on a 10 page research paper and weekly blackboard posting + 4 responses.

Pre-recorded lectures? What about live lectures?

If the education doesnt match what it was in the past, so that tuition must be lowered, then the
credits earned have to be lowered.

If the credits aren't lowered despite the education being lower value, then accreditation must br
revoked and degrees cant be awarded.

That's true. But if the school is closed and all the classes will be online then they should at least
waive the technology fee for this semester. I’m not using the schools’ technology nor am I using
their wifi.

You're using the tech more than ever when all your classes are online, the tech fee isn't about
dinky on campus wifi. And thousands of students are on loaner laptops and tablets right now
too.

Well, not only do they still have to pay the instructors, but now they have to take into account the
whole infrastructure + maintenance of the online platform used for instruction.

Yeah, I agree with you. For CUNY, the price is already very affordable whether it’s all online for all
in person. The reason why is because it operates on such slim margins. You can’t compare
paying the same price for all online classes at CUNY to the robbery Harvard and other schools
are committing ; I heard it’s like 50K a semester and they're making it online classes. CUNY really
is a godsend and I don't mind paying the original price for online this semester; it is what it is.
However, if I was a NYU or Harvard student paying that price and it’s online; that’s a diff story.
Price point should be taken into consideration when complaining. CUNY adjuncts already gets
paid at a subhuman level ; you wanting to pay less is like you not wanting them to have the
already low pay they get and they teach you the stuff that gets you the job you need.

This. Not to mention all the people below the adjuncts. TA’s get paid even less and can only
work below a certain amount of hours every week and departments across CUNY are further
cutting their hours. Maybe I'm biased, but the people getting paid the least are often the
ones in the trenches doing the most work in terms of the educational reach to students. The
professors for the classes I'm a TA for lecture twice a week for ~1 hr whereas I put in ~15-20
hours of one-on-one work with students.

Thankfully they're one of the least expensive colleges in the nation.

... Online classes usually cost the same as in person classes at schools, CUNY or not. Maybe a full
online degree program is different, but that I wouldn't know.

Whether they SHOULD be the same cost is a great question to explore though.

I'm in the same boat and frustrated, plus I live in a different state so am paying out-of-state tuition
which is a lot...wish they would lower the tuition for online classes so at least out-of-state students
are paying in-state tuition.
