Hey all, the SUNY University Faculty Senate worked hard on a "new deal" resolution at the Winter 2019 Plenary at SUNY Cobleskill, and the Senate approved it 37-0-5 (that's unanimous with 5 abstentions). I'll share the final version once it's released...let's just say for now it should look familiar to you!

Also, multiple sources confirmed that there is significant funding in the Executive Budget for some portion of contractual increases in salaries and benefits. It's not enhanced maintenance of effort, but it's a step in the right direction.  When the plenary report comes out, I'll share more details.

Thanks again for your support of sustainable and equitable public funding for SUNY and CUNY's core operating budgets. And please be ready to join in when next steps are announced!
