An editorial in the Albany Times Union looks at the methods state legislators used to push UB 2020 through the Senate last week, noting, "It's not a bad bill in principal...It would allow a more rational approach than the Legislature's practice of starving SUNY for years and then hitting students with a massive tuition hike." But the article laments the bill was not extended to the entire system: "Can lawmakers only see the value of an empowered SUNY when it's in their political interests?"
