CICU, the Commission on Independent Colleges and
Universities, is urging students, faculty and staff to join an e-mail
campaign to petition policymakers in Albany to increase the Tuition
Assistance Program (TAP) maximum award to $5,000 and to make college
tuition state tax deductible.

Participants are first asked to complete a brief survey
in order to target messages to appropriate legislators. On the basis of
survey responses, participants will receive a selection of letters to
review.
