Eli Dvorkin discusses how CUNY compares to other universities and college systems when it comes to transfer students. He notes that while the transfer problem is widespread, CUNY has made it a priority in recent years.

  • Transfer issues are a major problem at public university systems across the United States
  • CUNY performs no worse than some systems and better than others
  • CUNY has made transfer a priority in its strategic roadmap, which is not the case for all systems
  • Dvorkin expresses optimism about CUNY's current approach to the transfer problem compared to previous years

Right.
1:27:22
Do you think how does CUNY fare compare to other universities or or college systems when it comes to transfer students.
Eli Dvorkin
1:27:30
Yeah.
1:27:30
You know, this is actually an area where I'd say in in a sense, there is some good news.
1:27:33
The good news is not particularly good for any of us in the United States, is that this is truly a major problem at public university systems across the country.
1:27:40
I mean, I would actually say that, you know, CUNY Fair is no worse than some and better than others.
1:27:44
You know?
1:27:45
The reality though is that CUNY has made this a priority, which not every system has done just in the last couple of years, you know, building transfer into CUNY's strategic roadmap going forward.
1:27:55
So I'm actually optimistic about how CUNY is viewing the transfer problem compared to previous, you know, years decades.
1:28:01
But CUNY is certainly not alone nationally and how difficult this problem has been to solve.
