UB President John B. Simpson, who served as a member of the commission, is quoted as saying that New York "has become less competitive and less innovative…because public research universities, such as the University at Buffalo, have not been given the tools and autonomy they need to do what they do best: create knowledge and use it to fuel the economy."
