Regrettably, due to the current CUNY budget deficit, the EDIT committee (the Educational Development Initiative Team, a subcommittee of the College Senate’s Committee on Professional Development) will not be able to award any Professional Development EDIT grants for the Fall 2020 EDIT Cycle. The Board of Trustees has not yet approved CUNY’s budget, and therefore, LaGuardia has not yet received its budget allocation from CUNY. All funding for non-essential travel is suspended.
Once LaGuardia has a budget, Academic Affairs will decide whether any funds can be allocated to the EDIT team for the Spring 2021 EDIT award cycle. The EDIT committee wishes the situation were otherwise and we sincerely hope that we will once again be able to fund the fine projects typically submitted by our faculty members in the spring.
