An op-ed on the Huffington Post about Gov. Andrew Cuomo's summit later this month to consider the UB 2020 proposal to give the university more autonomy with respect to tuition policies and control over its physical assets supports the measure, not only for UB but for all public higher education institutions in New York State. The op-ed notes that "compared with other public flagships, average in-state tuition and fees for [UB] undergraduates were more than $1,000 below the national average and the fourth-lowest among the flagship campuses in the 14 peer states."
