BINGHAMTON UNIVERSITY - STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK

Same issues as were described in the Budget/Appropriations section but because they all involved Higher Education, included in this category as well: Congressman Brindisi(office) contacts: On July 8, I had a brief conversation with Congressman Brindisi's legislative director Jonathan Lipe regarding the Congressman's support of the RISE Act (HR 7308). We thanked him for his support. On Monday, Aug. 3rd our President and I held a conference call with the Congressman simply to discuss the status of a possible relief bill and find out whether it included direct relief for Higher Ed. and specifically Binghamton. We also updated the Congressman, just for information purposes, on our plans for Restarting Binghamton which included welcoming students back and resuming in person and online classes for the fall semester. On August 27, I just contacted Jonathan Lipe again just to see what he was hearing about the possibility of a stimulus bill. There was no definitive information available. Senator Schumer: On Tuesday, July 14, We (Binghamton) organized a conference call for all of the SUNY Center GR reps to discuss the recent DHS(ICE) rule that international students who did not have an in-person class in the coming semester could NOT stay in the country. During the call, all explained to the Senator's staff how this new rule would negatively impact our students and our individual campuses. Later that day, that rule was revised again and this issue was no longer an issue for our respective universities or students. On Wednesday August 5th, I communicated with Senator Schumer's regional representative to inform her that IF there was a new round of stimulus money and it included direct relief for higher education, we wanted her to relay to the Senator and other staff that using a funding model based on FTE's and not headcount was preferable. Not just because it benefits four year institutions more than 2 year but explained that in our opinion it was more equitable. --
