He acquired his BA in Political Science from the University of Wisconsin in 1953 and went on to receive his MA in Public Law and Government from Columbia University in 1955. Shortly after completing his education at Columbia, he served active military duty in the 42nd Infantry Division of - Page 3- The Martin Begun Collection Finding Aid BEG the Army National Guard in Seoul, Korea, from 1957-1960. In 1958, he was awarded a Commendation Medal by the Secretary of the Army. Coinciding with Begun’s military service, he was appointed as Instructor of Political Science with the University of Maryland Overseas Division for the Far East in the late 1950s and held a Lecturer position briefly from 1961-1962 at Baruch College before starting his lasting career at New York University’s School of Medicine in 1963 as an administrator and professor, retiring as Senior Associate Dean and Vice President of External Affairs in 1997. During his tenure at NYU, he was a strong advocate on behalf of the homeless and mentally ill during a time when they were overlooked by the medical community, and wrote an article in 1985 entitled “Crossroads for the Mentally Ill Homeless.” He was also active in New York City politics under the Liberal and Democratic parties and ran unsuccessfully for Edward Koch’s seat in Congress in 1978 after Koch became Mayor. He served as chairman of the Community Services Board of the city’s Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Alcoholism Services from 1974-1994, along with many other civic and community service appointments. A longtime leader of the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York, he maintained ties with leading federal, state and city officials, from Vice President Hubert Humphrey to Governors Nelson Rockefeller and Hugh Carey and Mayors Robert F. Wagner Jr., Abraham Beame, and Edward Koch. In his work with the Liberal Party, he nominated Hillary Clinton for New York Senator on June 3, 2000 describing her as “a candidate who is the spiritual and political descendent of Eleanor Roosevelt… whose cares and concerns demonstrate a total commitment to education, universal health care, and the equal protection of rights for all citizens.” In 1997, Martin Begun married Louise M. Sunshine, founder and former president of the real estate and marketing company, the Sunshine Group (later known as Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group). Sunshine made her name in real estate during her fifteen year career as executive vice president of the Trump Organization from 1973-1988. Begun passed away in 2016. ^ Return to Table of Contents Scope and Content Note This collection documents the activities of Martin Stanley Begun, long time Dean of New York University’s School of Medicine, a power broker and active member of the Liberal and Democratic Party in local New York City politics, an active leader in the Jewish Community Relations Council, and advocate for the mentally ill and homeless. ^ Return to Table of Contents - Page 4- The Martin Begun Collection Finding Aid BEG Arrangement The collection is arranged into six series: I.

  • Labor Saves New York: 1970S
    Part 3 in a series: Turning points in DC 37 history—the 1970s Labor saves New York DC 37 plays a central role in helping the city avert bankruptcy. PEP photo by Bill Schleicher PEP By GREGORY N. HEIRES ISTRICT COUNCIL 37 confronted serious threats to its existence in the tur- Dbulent 1970s, as working families struggled with high infl ation and high unemployment and New York City teetered on the edge of bankruptcy. The fi scal crisis of 1975 led to tens of thousands of layoffs of municipal employees—20 percent of the city workforce, by one estimate. Workers were hit with a wage freeze, deferral of a negotiated raise and cuts in city contributions for employee benefi ts. “Unions paid the price,” said William Tabb, a retired economist from the City University of New York and author of “The Long Default: New York City and the Urban Fiscal Crisis.” The fi scal crisis weakened the city’s ability to fi ght back against the right-wing political assault on the public sector and organized labor that continues today. New York’s working class paid a severe price as key parts of the city’s progressive tradition were wiped out. Free tuition was lost at the City Univer- sity of New York, transit fares skyrocketed by 40 percent and the business sector began its ultimately successful attack on rent control. “A lot of harm was done to the public sector as a result of the fi scal crisis of the ’70s,” said Josh Freeman, a labor historian at Queens College.
