Dear New Yorkers,

The City University of New York is a kind of city unto itself — which is why our newsroom thinks it’s worthy of dedicated coverage.

We’ve launched a new weekly newsletter, The CUNY Scoop, aimed at shining a light on the massive public university and its community members. CUNY enrolls roughly 250,000 students and employs more than 40,000 people.

The newsletter is anchored by Aisha Baiocchi, our new reporter on this important beat. Say hi to her — and send her tips — at abaiocchi@thecityreporter.nyc.

One news nugget out of CUNY this week: 700 students were able to use free OMNY cards on local transit for the first time Monday under a city-funded pilot program. But $700,000 in state funding did not come through for the initiative, limiting how many people can benefit, according to the City Council speaker’s office.

Aisha will keep reporting on the university system and her newsletter will spotlight developments and personalities at CUNY campuses across the city. It will also include required reading and key dates to help university members navigate everyday issues.
