Binghamton University President Harvey Stenger, along with high-profile Southern Tier business and community leaders, presented an in-depth plan today to Gov. Andrew Cuomo, SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher and leaders of the New York State Legislature that would increase student access to the University while bolstering the region’s economy and enhancing renewable energy research in New York state.
The presentation and plan received a positive reaction from both Cuomo and Zimpher. Calling it “truly very impressive and well thought out,” Cuomo said, “The leverage that you bring in the plan, I think, is extraordinary—the work you’ve done to identify the private-sector jobs, which to me this is all about, and that you are also in the right area, the growth area.
“This is the challenge for the state, this marriage of our best academic institutions creating products that we can commercialize, and that synapse is what we have to develop. That’s the spot that we’re working on and I think this goes right to that. Well done.”
“I think what was most interesting was that there were no questions—only compliments,” said Stenger. “As they went around the room, (legislators and the lieutenant governor) said positive things. None of them asked any questions. That made me feel good. There wasn’t anything we left out that they needed clarification about.”
