Buffalo News: UB 2020 will not advance without SUNY reforms

A Buffalo News editorial urges the state legislature to pass reforms -- known as the Public Higher Education Empowerment and Innovation Act -- that would allow UB to move forward with its UB 2020 plans. "Albany is failing to grant the tools to complete UB 2020, essentially eliminating the chance at 6,700 direct jobs at UB, 20,000 good-paying building and construction jobs and nearly $2 billion more in economic impact from the build-out and the kind of future economic growth seen in other research triangles. The stakes are high and the time is now to act."
