During CUNY's testimony I asked him about metrics for the success of CUNY CARES and I think often we think of metrics as how many more students graduated, how many more students attended classes, how is GPA impacted, But as CUNY collects data, I sure hope that some of their data includes how many students stayed in their homes because of this, how many students were able to sign up for fair fares, how many students were able to get access to SNAP and other benefits because those are also critically important metrics to know how successful a program is because we're more than just about graduation rates.

CUNY is more than just about graduation rates.
2:19:22
It's about the entire student.
