Protest in Purchase

Purchase College students will be protesting Gov. David Paterson’s cuts to SUNY’s budget and his plans to reduce financial aid.
The rally is scheduled for noon tomorrow at the Dining Hall.
In the latest round of state budget cuts, SUNY will be losing $96.3 million in funding. In earlier budget reductions, SUNY lost about $50 million in state operating funds. The impact on campuses so far has included fewer courses, larger class sizes and unfilled faculty positions.
Paterson is responding to an ongoing economic slowdown and projected state budget shortfalls.
