SUNY campus victim of cuts - Scott Waldman, Albany Times-Union

Liam Keating has spent weeks packing up the same books that he put on a library shelf just 12 months ago. His work-study job on the campus of Stony Brook Southampton is to help close the multi-million dollar library he opened last August. Later this month, the State University of New York at Stony Brook will mothball the majority of this tiny campus on the eastern tip of Long Island, where the air smells like the sea and home prices run into the eight figures. Despite pumping $78 million into the campus in just four years, the school celebrated its first, and last, graduation in May.
