Presidents for SUNY Campuses The trustees of the State University of New York trustees have named presidents for two campuses.
"Even with an amazingly smart man on the UNC board," recalls Broad, "when I first nominated a woman as chancellor of one of our campuses, [the trustee] grumbled, 'I thought we did that already.' ".
The announcement was a surprise to many people on the campus, including some trustees, because of the momentum Dr. Rodin has gathered since becoming president in 1994.
Inside, on the 14th floor of Baruch's William and Anita Newman Vertical Campus Building, the trustees and the CUNY chancellor, Matthew Goldstein, said they had little choice but to raise tuition, to compensate for sharply lowered support from the state in recent years.
The university, which announced the move in a memorandum sent yesterday to CUNY's trustees, campus presidents and other administrators, said it was raising the rates to comply with a five-year-old federal law requiring that illegal immigrants not be given preferential tuition treatment over students from out of state.
The changes outlined by the Freeh report pertain to many areas of our university — from the board of trustees, to campus police, to the office of human resources, to the athletic department.
Stony Brook University cleared a major hurdle in its planned takeover of Southampton College's 80-acre campus when the SUNY trustees voted unanimously in Albany on Tuesday to negotiate a purchase price with the campus's owner, Long Island University.
The posts did not sit well with everyone at Oberlin, where, weeks earlier, a group of alumni and students had written the president with worries about anti-Semitism on campus; the board of trustees denounced Karega's Facebook activities.
And although Dr. Shapiro was applauded for inviting the entire college community -- from campus police officers to trustees -- to an inaugural lunch of lox and beef tenderloin, students, faculty and alumni complained that he was remote.
Paul Suhey, a former football captain for Paterno and an orthopedic surgeon in the State College area, was the only trustee on campus for the 5 p.m. conference call as others dialed in from around the country.
