The sudden downfall of FEGS (“Questions Loom In Wake Of FEGS’ Fall,” Feb 6) is truly shocking and a great loss for the people of New York and the Human Services community. FEGS has been an important part of the social safety net for tens of thousands of New Yorkers and has been an important employer of our students and our graduates.
I hope that all of the critical programs and dedicated service providers now part of FEGS will find a home in other human services organizations.
