Charlie Clarke Quoted in New York Teacher


Faculty Association President Charlie Clarke (Psychology) was quoted in the November 26 issue of New York Teacher, the official publication of New York State United Teachers. The article, “Making a positive impact on higher ed: VOTE-COPE” explores how -- in response to state budget cuts -- the union communicates the vital role of community colleges to legislators and New York state residents.

VOTE-COPE is NYSUT's non-partisan political action fund that coordinates the voluntary contributions of members and supports NYSUT-endorsed candidates and campaign committees that are pro-public education and pro-labor.

Clarke noted how MCC “members are choosing to give to VOTE-COPE more than ever…because they get a big return on their investment.” As stated in the article, through the Faculty Association, MCC faculty and staff have increased giving to VOTE-COPE by 60 percent in recent years.
