Higher education endowment

By Jasmyn Belcher

Oswego, New York – With Governor Spitzer expected to propose establishing an endowment fund for the state's higher education system, the union representing over 33,000 State University of New York faculty is watching closely.

WRVO's Jasmyn Belcher spoke with Acting President of United University Professions, Frederick Floss.

Recent cuts to federal funding are challenging our mission to serve central and upstate New York with trusted journalism, vital local coverage, and the diverse programming that informs and connects our communities. This is the moment to join our community of supporters and help keep journalists on the ground, asking hard questions that matter to our region.

Stand with public media and make your gift today—not just for yourself, but for all who depend on WRVO as a trusted resource and civic cornerstone in central and upstate New York.
