SUNY trustees are meeting today to consider raising tuition by $310 for the spring semester and $620 annually starting next fall. Then under the SUNY plan, tuition would be raised in small increments annually after that.
The trustees also want to give the university the power to pursue naming rights and related ad revenue flexibility to sell or lease SUNY property.
They also want to increase state support for the school by $245.4 million next year, to $2.37 billion.
All of these ideas have to be approved by Gov. Paterson and the Legislature. Legislative leaders have been cool towards hiking tuition, but have not ruled it out.
