Once again, I write to update our university community regarding the state of our budget. As you all know, the 2009-2010 NYS budget has been debated in Albany for a number of months. In the past week or so, we have been gaining additional clarity regarding the state budget and how the state’s fiscal challenges will continue to affect the financial health of our university.
