Council Member Dinowitz asks Eli Dvorkin about cost calculations for the proposed MetroCard program for CUNY students. Dvorkin provides limited information on the potential costs.

  • Dvorkin doesn't have specific calculations for the entire university
  • He mentions they have calculated figures for community college students
  • Dvorkin offers to get back to the council with more detailed cost estimates

And then and and do you have you calculated any numbers, you know, the you know, saying for the Pell Grant recipients minus the number of students who aren't ASAP, minus the number of students who are in Reconnect or some other program, have you sort of calculated what the cost would kind of look like sorry, what the investment cost would look like for that.

Right.
1:22:43
I'd have to get back to you about that.
1:22:45
I believe we calculated that figure for all the community college students.
1:22:48
For the full university, we'd have to get back to you about that.
