Chair Joseph on ASAP funding and restoration impact
Joseph asks about ASAP funding levels for FY26 and FY27 and the impact of not restoring $4.6 million. Provost Alvero reports the additional funding allowed 2,000 more students to enroll, utilizing 98% of the allocation.
In the executive budget, you also did not include restoration for 4.6 for CUNY ASAP.
CUNY ASAP provides associate degree seeking students with intensive academic support as well as financial support such as free transportation and textbook.
What are the current funding level in fiscal 2026 and 2027 for CUNY ASAP?
Yep.
So I think we have the funding.
For fiscal year 26, it's about $92 million.
As of now, without the recurring funding, it would drop to 88.
And what is the $4.6 million supporting in fiscal 2026?
How would it impact programming if funding is not restored?
So it impacts, we were able to increase enrollment.
We actually utilized upwards of 98% of our allocation.
We were able to increase enrollment by 2,000 students as a result of the additional funding.
So we know the program works.
And I knew we had this here.
The approximate cost per student in both ASAP and ACE is $3,440.
Thank you.
I knew it was in some place.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for being so detailed today.
