  At a meeting scheduled for Sept. 29, the State University of New York’s Finance and Administration Committee expects to receive reports on how its campuses will implement $40 million in reductions, according to H. Carl McCall, chairman of the committee.
  With the latest round of state budget cuts last month, SUNY will be losing $96.3 million in funding. Most of the loss will be absorbed by the SUNY system, but it will be up to campuses to make the rest of the reductions, McCall has said.
  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.
  Gov. David Paterson has ordered spending cuts because of an ongoing economic slowdown and projected state budget shortfalls. In light of the problems on Wall Street this week, the governor could call the Legislature back to do more cutting.
