Several SUNY leaders voiced a unified objective of keeping tuition costs consistent during attendance for students, as well as working with businesses in the region to provide better placement for graduates in New York State. Leaders gathered at the campus of the SUNY Polytechnic Institute earlier today to encourage the extension of NYSUNY2020, which features a Rational Tuition Policy. The policy holds the yearly price for students, without an unforeseen spike during their study.

Dr. Robert Geer, SUNY poly Sr. VP & COO says this benefits both students and the administration.

“Before that the tuition would remain constant, all of the sudden would jump up. And for too many families that really caught them unaware. And they wanted a plan, and we wanted a plan, because on our side, without knowing what those dollars might be, it was harder to make those longer term investments.”
