Senate hearing on SUNY confirmations is back on
-
- September
- 28
The Senate will hold a public hearing Oct. 17 on two of Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s nominees for State University of New York trustees. They are Carl Hayden, an Elmira lawyer and former chancellor for the state Board of Regents, and H. Carl McCall, former state comptroller and one-time gubernatorial candidate.
The hearing was supposed to be held this week but it was postponed. McCall and Hayden are two of three nominations the governor made for SUNY. The university system can’t begin its search for a new chancellor until Hayden is confirmed because Spitzer wants him to chair the Board of Trustees and lead the search.
The Senate is holding a one-day session Oct. 22 and is expected to take up the two confirmations and other issues.
