New York State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver Says That the Governor is Not Helping Higher Education
![]()
Under the governor's leadership, New York State has fallen behind the rest of the nation when it comes to support for higher education. In fact, New York currently ranks 41st in the percent change of state support for higher education. This embarrassing ranking is a direct result of the governor's $2.7 billion in cuts to higher education over his tenure. Unfortunately, this year is no different. His 2004-05 executive budget contains over $337 million in cuts to higher education.
