Hm... not sure about this. I don't think it solves the "adequate" problem
at any rate. Pataki could slash the budget, and not make provisions for a
tuition increase -- we'd just go into retrenchment. But I definitely like
the idea of brining fees (the hidden tuition increases) into play. Who
knows what they have up their sleeves.
I think the gist of Prof. Sherrill's comments last night was that we should
be broader, something like:

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Hunter College Senate opposes any cuts to
CUNY funding, and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Hunter College Senate opposes any
increases to tuition and fees

Short and sweet?
