Bassin Former President
Of York College
Queens Borough President Helen
Marshall released the following statement
regarding the passing of Dr. Milton
Bassin, former president of York College.
“Dr. Milton Bassin was a man of vision
and leadership who guided the future of
York College from 1971 to 1991. As the
longest-serving president of York, he
committed himself to prepare the college,
its faculty, students and the entire community of Jamaica for the future.
“He loved York and knew personally,
as a graduate of CUNY himself, that intellectual pursuit in a nourishing environment would reap a rich harvest.
“Our sympathy goes out to his friends
and colleagues and our gratitude to his
family for his dedication and service,
which generations of students will always
appreciate.”
