College steps up to budget crisis - SUNY Geneseo Lamron

This year presented Geneseo with some very serious challenges.In the throes of a dismal economic climate, each of SUNY's 64 campuses has found itself in the same situation as nearly every individual, municipality, corporation and nation. In the struggle to meet financial commitments, cuts must be made: cuts to programs, cuts to payroll, cuts to utilities, cuts to investments in the future.Since the first shockwaves of the economic recession began to hit in 2008, the SUNY system has endured a stunning $424 million in cuts.
