<p>the issue still remains as to whether the state will use this as an excuse to cut the amount they allocate to the SUNY’s – even though tuition setting may be outside of the budget process, the state will still be determining what to allocate to the SUNY’s from the state budget – tuition does not fund the full cost of the state university system by definition.</p>
<p>i’m just urging people to remain vigilent on that issue and not to assume that Paterson is offering to give the SUNY’s something without taking something back with the other hand down the road in the budget allocation.</p>
