Business First Spotlights President Simpson, UB 2020 and PHEEIA

A Business First cover story explains the economic benefits of UB 2020 that are imperiled by state budget cuts. The article also describes why so many business, community and government leaders in Western New York support UB 2020, and why UB and SUNY need the legislature to pass the Public Higher Education Empowerment and Innovation Act (PHEEIA). "We have got to see our way to this. I just don't think failure is an option here," said Clotilde Perez-Bode Dedecker, president and CEO of the Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo.
