Q&A

Epstein requests data on targeted populations and cost barriers

New York City Council · Sep 29, 2026 · starts 1:17:06 · 35 sec

Epstein says he wants data on what percentage of students in supported programs access study abroad. He says money is a factor and wants to explore what could help targeted populations make those choices, turning back to the chair for possible conversations.

Harvey D. Epstein

I would just love to be able to see what the data says about the percentage of these students who are making these opportunities available to them because we know how important study abroad can be.

Harvey D. Epstein

And then, as the chair pointed out, money obviously is a factor, but we'd like to be able to figure out in the context of money what...

Harvey D. Epstein

Could assist these students in making those choices?

Harvey D. Epstein

Because then I would turn back to the chair saying we maybe create some conversations around those possibilities, especially for a targeted population.

Harvey D. Epstein

Thank you.
