Somebody said in my opening, you know, for us maybe $65 may not be that big a deal, but for our students it is.

And can you talk about the ways in which you collect data and feedback from students, current or prospective students on their financial needs and if you've collected any data on these specific proposals.

And and by the way, asked that question in front of the queen of data.
1:00:10
She I don't know if you know this.
1:00:12
She invented data in New York City.

I think you just gotta be sworn in if you're gonna say some okay.
1:00:24
Please raise your right hand.
1:00:30
Do you please, Ray, do you affirm yourself the truth, whole truth, and nothing but the truth in your testimony before this committee and to respond honestly to council member questions?

Yeah.
1:00:37
Okay.
1:00:38
