On top of that, digging into their manifesto in the page above, I found this startling and horrifying stance the PSC has

> CUNYFirst will be part of the arsenal by which CUNY Central shoves Pathways down our throat

Basically, the CUNY PSC is opposed to a unified core curriculum, allowing students at all CUNY institutions to transfer between each other.

This is something that is diametrically opposed to student well-being.

Basically, the PSC at the time opposed NYC community college students from taking courses at CUNY's 4 year universities and vice versa, and was strongly opposed to interoperability and transfer of credits.

California's equivalent system (ASSIST) has had a massive benefit in allowing Californian community college students to transfer to CSUs, UCs, and private schools like USC and Stanford.

CUNY's faculty union (PSC) on the other hand is completely opposed to a similar system being adopted.

The whole point CUNY PSC was opposed to the CUNYFirst system was basically because the PSC was completely opposed to allows simplified inter-college transfer.
