Warning of larger class sizes and possible program cuts, officials on Friday called for additional state funding to address growing deficits at colleges and universities belonging to the State University of New York. uupinfo
Leaders from the United University Professions, which represents more than 42,000 academic professionals across 29 SUNY campuses, are calling for an increase in state funding to help combat multimillion-dollar budget deficits at several Capital Region institutions, including the University at Albany, Empire State College and SUNY Cobleskill.
UAlbany faces a projected $15 million deficit, according to UUP. Empire State College, located in Saratoga Springs, and SUNY Cobleskill, meanwhile, have projected deficits of $8 million and $4 million, respectively. “Without more state funding, campuses are left to consider even more drastic measures, which could include cutting programs, overloading classes, leaving full-time vacancies unfilled and hiring more adjuncts to pick up the slack,” he said.
SUNY in-state tuition currently costs $8,122 per year, a 64% increase from the $4,970 price tag back in 2011.
