Improving the accessibility and affordability of higher education in New York State has long been a priority of the Assembly Higher Education Committee. This year the legislature negotiated and passed a budget that ensured that higher education programs were adequately funded including base aid for community colleges, full-time faculty lines, capital projects, opportunity programs and academic and professional scholarships. These programs, and many more designed to improve higher education in New York State, were vetoed by the Governor.
