Q&A

CM Morano on AI impact and employment outcomes by program

New York City Council · Jun 8, 2026 · starts 1:13:10 · 57 sec

Morano asks which degree programs produce the strongest employment outcomes and which struggle in the AI era. The Chancellor says this is prospective and offers to provide existing data on employment outcomes by program.

Frank Morano

You spend a lot of time on AI, which is great.

Frank Morano

Which degree programs currently produce the strongest employment outcomes and highest earnings for graduates?

Frank Morano

And which programs consistently struggle to connect graduates to jobs, particularly keeping in mind the AI era that we're going into and that we're in?

Félix Matos Rodríguez

Well, so your AI question is perspective, right?

Félix Matos Rodríguez

So that is a crystal ball of looking at how things are going to.

Félix Matos Rodríguez

We do have data on some of the metrics that you mentioned in your question.

Félix Matos Rodríguez

I'd be happy to engage with the committee on those and provide them.

Félix Matos Rodríguez

And they're becoming also part of some of the things that we're getting asked for in the state and the federal government.

Félix Matos Rodríguez

So happy to provide that to you.

Félix Matos Rodríguez

Thanks very much.

Hector Batista

Thank you.

Linda Lee

Great.
