At a time of severe budget crisis, many CUNY administrators are getting substantial pay raises. Some 20 senior-level administrators in the past two months have been given modified job positions and raises of up to $28,000 per year. The CUNY Central Office claims the raises are justified on the grounds that some administrators will have increased responsibility. At the September 30th meeting of the CUNY Board of Trustees, Dr. Robert Picken, Chair of the University Faculty that 1 Senate, expressed his belief in the face of such disastrous 4 I conditions on so many campuse·s, the administrative raises were "ill-timed and ill-considered." : j ....

  • Italian Americans, Others Call for New York to Honor Saint with Statue
    Italian Americans, others call for New York to honor saint with statue BROOKLYN, N.Y. (CNS) — The outrage over the snubbing of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini by New York City first lady Chirlane McCray’s She Built NYC commission culminated in a march and Mass Oct. 6 to support a public statue of Mother Cabrini, as the patron saint of immigrants is best known. More than 1,000, including many Italian Americans, joined the march in Brooklyn’s Carroll Gardens section led by Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio of Brooklyn and Msgr. David Cassato, director of the Brooklyn Diocese’s Italian Apostolate. Afterward, Bishop DiMarzio celebrated Mass at Sacred Hearts-St. Stephen Church. The march showed support for Mother Cabrini after she wasn’t selected as one of first seven women to have a statue built in their honor by the She Built NYC project, an initiative that aims to increase the number of statues of women in New York City. Mother Cabrini received the most nominations of any of the 320 women nominated, and yet she was passed over. Jane Meyer, a spokeswoman for Mayor Bill de Blasio, said She Built NYC didn’t rely just on the number of public nominations. Instead, it took a “holistic” approach, she said, taking into consideration the advice of a 19-person committee that represented a diverse group of people with a broad range of expertise and backgrounds. “There wasn’t one particular lever that was pulled more than another,” Meyer said. “Maybe it wasn’t clear along the way that it wasn’t the most vote gets it.” Bishop DiMarzio said Mother Cabrini wouldn’t have asked for a statue herself, but noted a statue would honor the memory of immigrants and remind us of our responsibility to each other.
