At least six people with close CUNY ties were among the more than 40 New Yorkers killed as a result of Sandy.

At mid-semester, the conflict over Pathways continues. A college president tried to block the election of a Pathways critic as a department chair, but was forced to back down. Calls for a moratorium on Pathways implementation won new support. And a union grievance charged that CUNY's imposition of Pathways violates the contract.
