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.:: Monday, June 21, 2004 ::
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...

While more students are relying on loans for college, a measure before Congress may end fixed-rate loan consolidation for federal student loans after 2006.
Meanwhile, a study has found that at many schools, black and latino students aren't graduating within 4 - 6 years in numbers that are higher than the national trend.
