Buffalo News: Continue support of UB's expansion as a SUNY flagship

The need for continued support of the expansion of UB as a flagship campus of SUNY is referenced in an editorial in today's The Buffalo News focusing on the transition of David Paterson to governor.

The editorial notes: "Upstate in general, and the Buffalo area in particular, must push hard for the survival of key elements of the Spitzer agenda -- an agenda that included a $1 billion economic redevelopment package to revitalize upstate, an emphasis on expanding the University at Buffalo as a flagship research campus for the state university system and a key partner in Buffalo's recovery, and Niagara Falls redevelopment that included projects with short-term payoffs and a Niagara Experience Center with long-term potential."
