In memory of Suzie Schuyler, our beloved President. She will be deeply missed.

March 8, 2026

It is with profound sadness that the Henry George School of Social Science announces the passing of our beloved President, Suzie Schuyler, on March 8, 2026.

Suzie was a remarkable leader, a devoted champion of this School's mission, and a cherished member of our community. Her passion for education, her generosity of spirit, and her unwavering commitment to the Henry George School of Social Science inspired all who had the privilege of knowing and working alongside her.

During her leadership, Suzie brought warmth, wisdom, and quiet determination to everything she did. She cared deeply about the people around her and about carrying forward the ideas and educational work that define this institution. Her vision guided the School through consequential moments, and her absence will be felt profoundly by our board, our staff, and the supporters whose lives she touched.

We extend our deepest condolences to Suzie's family and friends, and to all who were fortunate enough to share in her life.

Her legacy will endure in the work we carry on in her memory.

What Would Henry George Say?

By Dr. Marty Rowland

On June 8, 2022, the CBS New York Team published an article titled “MTA says it is ‘fully committed to congestion pricing’ after Hochul signals it may be delayed.”

The article can be found here: https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/mta-says-it-is-fully-committed-to-congestion-pricing-after-hochul-signals-it-may-be-delayed/.

What would Henry George say?

What the MTA is saying is that we need capital funding and because congestion pricing will do the trick, we need it now.  That the “Agency” needs to upgrade its infrastructure is something most New Yorkers can agree on, but we must ask if congestion pricing is the best way to pay for it. As Henry George made the case more than a century ago, and confirmed by an array of empirical studies, there is a strong nexus between infrastructure spending, in the form of accessible subways, new subway lines, clean buses….etc.. and rising property values. This makes land value taxation the primary revenue source to consider for addressing MTA’s capital investment needs.
