Statement by William E. Scheuerman,
President of United University Professions
on the resignation of Robert King as SUNY Chancellor

“We developed a sound working relationship with Chancellor King and our joint efforts on the budget this year and last paid off well for the SUNY community, especially in terms of increased, state-funded operating aid.

“We urge the University to select a successor who strongly advocates for the needs of the SUNY system, fights to protect academic freedom and supports the principles of shared governance with academic and professional faculty.”

 

 

UUP represents more then 34,000 academic and professional faculty on 29 New York State-operated campuses, and is an affiliate of the American Federation of Teachers, AFL-CIO and New York State United Teachers (NYSUT).
