The historical tree-lined campus has always been a destination of transformation. During WWII, the campus served as the training ground for the WAVES (Women Accepted for Voluntary Emergency Service)—the first time that women served in the American military. In 1946, the United Nations Security Council was housed on campus, where diplomats produced a draft of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a cause that was close to the heart of our namesake, Herbert H. Lehman, the former New York Governor, U.S. Senator, and statesman. Lehman always placed himself on the side of immigrants, the working classes, and the disenfranchised. He believed in the power of an education to lift people out of poverty. Lehman College is proud to honor that tradition to this day. Cristina Wolff, ‘84, B.S.

The Annual Report reviews the work of the Committee on Judiciary and highlights many of its major initiatives. It also includes a brief overview of various budgetary matters that concern the courts of the state and other areas within the committee’s purview. The Judiciary Committee tackled many high-profile issues in 2018, including protections for domestic violence victims, children and families, tenants and homeowners, workers and consumers and the elderly and disabled. A top priority of the Committee each year is ensuring that funding is added to the state budget for civil legal services for low-income New Yorkers. The Judiciary Committee remains a strong advocate for providing civil legal services to those in need. This year, the Assembly continued its support for civil legal services in New York State by restoring its traditional funding as well as an increased appropriation for civil legal services through the Judiciary budget.

    The Geography—and New Politics—of Housing in New York City Public Housing Tom Waters, Community Service Society of New York, November 2018 The 178,000 public housing apartments owned and operated by the New York City Housing Authority are often de- scribed as “a city within a city.” The Community Service Society has estimated the numbers of public housing apartments for the New York City portion of each legislative district in the city. These estimates were made by assigning buildings within public housing developments to legislative districts based on their addresses.

  • New York State Legislature
    NEW YORK STATE LEGISLATURE July 30, 2019 Carmine Di Sibio Chairman and CEO Ernst & Young- EY Five Times Square New York NY 10036 Dear Chairman Di Sibio, We write to express our disappointment with the efforts by Ernst & Young to deny your former partner, Karen Ward, a reasonable opportunity to have her claims of sexual harassment and gender discrimination heard in a court of law. By limiting her recourse to forced arbitration at a personal cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars, you are effectively silencing her and sending a message to your other employees that their claims will not be given a fair hearing and that they will have to pay exorbitant costs to simply have their claims heard. This case is a particularly egregious example of the abuses that led New York State to pass legislation banning such forced arbitration agreements in cases of harassment and discrimination in the first place. New York State is not alone in rejecting forced arbitration in cases of harassment. The private sector has also recognized that these requirements are vestiges of a past where sexual misconduct in the workplace was tolerated or ignored. Companies such as Microsoft, Uber, Google, Facebook, Lyft, Slack, Airbnb, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, Sidley Austin, Kirkland & Ellis, and Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP have voluntarily dropped mandatory arbitration requirements. It is disturbing that Ernst & Young is unwilling to recognize the negative impact arbitration requirements have on the ability of workers to get a fair hearing and the chilling effect these agreements can have on reporting. While the problems with forced arbitration are clear, the facts in this case are even more troubling.

Beginning in 2010, the New Yorkers for Better Libraries Political Action Committee will track library-related state legislation and will publish a report card/voters guide concerning each state leg- islator’s degree of support for libraries.

  • Congestion Pricing
    THE LEGISLATURE STATE OF NEW YORK ALBANY March 19, 2021 Secretary Pete Buttigieg U.S. Department of Transportation 1200 New Jersey Ave, SE Washington, D.C. 20590 Secretary Buttigieg: As members of the New York State Legislature, we want to extend our congratulations on your historic confirmation as Secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation and looK forward to your leadership in promoting a more equitable, efficient and climate-oriented system. Here in New York, one crucial part of that vision is implementing congestion pricing. We, the undersigned, strongly encourage your immediate authorization of the plan so we can save our public transit system, reduce pollution and climate-ravaging emissions, and build back better. After more than a decade of organizing and advocacy by grassroots organizations, labor unions, elected officials, business leaders and countless residents, and considerable deliberation and negotiation in the New York State Legislature, congestion pricing was adopted in 2019 with plans to fully roll out in early 2021. Despite this exhaustive and democratic process, the policy was stymied by the Trump administration, denying crucial revenue at a moment when our public transit system existential challenges. The Metropolitan Transit Authority was already facing several interconnected crises before the pandemic, with crumbling infrastructure and inconsistent service resulting in declining ridership. While the MTA recently received substantial federal aid to meet its immediate budget shortfall, our transit system still requires sustainable sources of long-term funding. By charging a small toll on drivers entering Manhattan below 60th Street, the project is expected to raise $1 billion in annual revenue—funds that will be protected from raids by the creation of a “locK box.” The MTA will also be able to issue bonds against this revenue, generating capital funds for new signaling, subway cars and track repairs, and an expansion of transit options for historically underserved communities.
