A people's cuny?

Edit: Cuny is CU NY I guess, what's saying is that CU NY should belong to people. I'm correct?

Yes. They are demanding free tuition, open admissions, and a cop free campus.

CUNY was originally established as a free university aimed at (for the time) democratizing access to higher education. They had no tuition at all until 1975, and very very low tuition--especially for NYC residents--until fairly recently. It only started charging a bunch of money when all universities started getting taken over by financial vampires in the 2000s.
