Following an analysis that primarily relied on a comparison of SUNY campuses versus other public institutions, over 30 SUNY campuses were selected to receive this funding that will be used to support the salary and benefit costs. The additional $53 million will be used to hire new full-time faculty. In addition, funds would be utilized to support initiatives such as microcredentialing and other programming for all learners. Campuses receiving funding must report to SUNY System Administration how the funds will address enrollment issues, address academic program offerings, build on existing operational efficiencies while seeking new opportunities, and provide essential student services. Included in the $113 million is $60 million to be distributed across SUNY's campuses for investing in enrollment, academic programs, student services, and operational efficiencies. "SUNY has provided life changing educational opportunities for countless of students and we must continue to provide the resources needed for the next generation of students seeking a world class education," Governor Hochul said. "With today's approval by the SUNY Board of Trustees, we have delivered on the commitment made in the budget to revitalize the SUNY system, hire additional faculty, increase diversity among the student body, and expand the reach of our campuses to attract and retain students." The funding is a part of the Governor's and state legislators' historic budget commitment to higher education, and will help secure SUNY's place as a global leader in higher education. This essential investment will support campus programs designed to increase services to SUNY students, bolster enrollment at SUNY institutions, and support college completion rates.
