New York State Budget

Thank you to Governor Kathy Hochul, Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, along with Higher Education Committee Chairs Senator Toby Ann Stavisky and Assemblymember Alicia Hyndman, and all our SUNY champions in the State Legislature, for their historic investment and continued commitment to public higher education.

Due to their leadership, funding for State-operated campuses has risen by over $445 million over the last four years, community colleges have received three consecutive years of operating aid increases, and significant capital funding has been provided for critical maintenance and research facilities.
