Chronicle of Higher Ed: Simpson quoted on what Spitzer resignation means to UB

An article in The Chronicle of Higher Education on Gov. Eliot Spitzer's resignation yesterday and what it means to proposal to add 2,000 faculty members to New York State's public universities and to create a $4 billion endowment for the institutions quotes President John B. Simpson on his confidence that much of the momentum for improving higher education, and the way it contributes to the state economy, will continue beyond the Spitzer administration. "The conversations on higher education and the interest the governor's had in SUNY and CUNY has called attention to the systems, their benefits and their values in a way that is going to transcend whoever happens to be on the second floor in Albany," Simpson said.
