An opinion piece in the Buffalo News by Francis Letro, chair of the UB Foundation board of trustees and a UB alumnus, criticizes a report recently circulated by three UB faculty members that maligned the UB Foundation and the work of its volunteers and responds to a Buffalo News editorial criticizing the UBF. “UBF’s status as a private organization is essential for attracting and safeguarding financial gifts that benefit students, faculty and academic programs,” he writes. “Without private funding, UB could not fully achieve its academic mission.
