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.
