Schools react to cuts in aid - ALEX JACOBS, Watertown Daily Times

St. Lawrence County's two State University of New York campuses are reacting differently to the latest cuts to come down from Albany. At SUNY Potsdam, students are protesting and President John F. Schwaller is struggling to cut $7.5 million from the college budget while still working to improve the institution. SUNY Canton President Joseph L. Kennedy is less worried about the latest cut in state contributions, because his campus budget has been buoyed by its own big spike in enrollment. "We're doing OK. As long as we sustain our enrollments, we'll be just fine. We have dipped into our reserves, so instead of having five years of money in the bank, we have two," Mr. Kennedy said. "Honestly, it hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be."
