Imagine an institution that meets the ideals of public higher education: call it Public Good U. What does this institution look like, who does it serve, how is it funded and governed, and what service does it return to the community?

Publicly-funded higher education is crucial for moving communities forward in the 21st century. This academic conference, focused on the value of public higher education as a public good, will connect educators, academic administrators, policy makers, and business leaders to rally support in the face of increasing political attacks on public higher education institutions.

Organized and hosted by SUNY University Faculty Senate, SUNY Faculty Council of Community Colleges, SUNY System Administration, and CUNY University Faculty Senate.
