City College psychology professor Bill Crain was arrested yesterday while trying to enter the "vertical campus" of Baruch College. He and a group of other CUNY affiliates (mostly professors) were testing whether Baruch truly adhered to the spirit of an "open" campus that is supposed to be the policy CUNY-wide. Apparently it didn't work out as planned.

You can follow the developments on the Senate-Forum discussion list. (free registration required)

On a side note, I have had similar experiences both at Baruch and Hunter where CUNY cops were a bit overzealous in enforcing ID policy - I was barred from entry to the Baruch "vertical campus" once and told to leave Hunter once, both times while showing valid Hunter ID. So much for one big happy CUNY family...

They're watching you. College fundraising researchers, that is. They know who you are, where you live, and how much you make.

How's Hunter's institutional advancement office doing?
