Stand with SUNY Legislative and Budget Advocacy Campaign Information

As Governor Cuomo and the Legislature consider funding levels for higher education in New York State, SUNY is once again poised to take action by advocating for increased support of the SUNY system.

The Stand With SUNY campaign focuses on three pillars:

* Building SUNY’s base by increasing direct state funding for our state-operated campuses and base aid for our community colleges.

* Growing the Investment & Performance Fund to keep the momentum going for taking best practices to scale across the system.

* Extending the successful rational tuition plan, NYSUNY 2020, to keep tuition-setting authority with the SUNY Board of Trustees, while providing them the ability to set those rates according to the physical, financial, and academic profile of our institutions.

These requests will ensure that we can continue to provide the highest quality education with the broadest possible access. It is critical that we keep SUNY and the state's forward momentum going by continuing to Stand With SUNY.

Come learn more about the Stand With SUNY efforts on Wednesday, January 27 from noon -1:30 pm in the Flynn Campus Center Atrium. We will have a table set up with the information you need to become more informed about SUNY’s efforts, including how you can get involved.
