NYU's Affordability: It's a BigProblemThe cost of attending NYU is one of the most pressing
issues for many students. This year, Student Government
has convened a task-force to find specific ways to make
NYU more affordable. The agenda items include increasing
financial transparency and information sharing on
opportunities NYU offers that helps make student life in
New York City more affordable. The task force also has
non-student government membership.
SustainabilityThe Sustainability Task Force combines the expertise of
students on Student Government as well as environmental
leadership on campus to address issues of sustainability on
campus as it pertains to student life. We collaborate with
the environmental organizations on campus, as well as
with the department of Environmental Studies and the
Office of Sustainability to support and achieve collectives
goals that will increase and perpetuate sustainable actions
on campus.
GenderFor the current academic year, the Gender Understanding
& Inclusivity Task Force is committed to exploring issues
around gender that exist at NYU and taking action to
alleviate these issues and better the student experience.
We have identified several areas where improvements can
be made, such as: increasing gender-neutral bathrooms &
locker rooms, updating the housing portal to better the
gender neutral housing system, and increasing the
opportunities for everyone at the university to learn about
what gender is and isn't. We are still looking for feedback
and opinions from the student body, so if you have any
questions, comments or concerns, please feel free to reach
out to [email protected]
