Cuomo Mulling Adding 65th SUNY Campus

Governor Andrew Cuomo said recently that he hasn't decided if he supports a proposal that would create a 65th State University of New York campus.

A new campus would be devoted to the growing field of Nanoscience while extending its reach statewide.

It was the first public confirmation of the major proposal kept tightly under wraps by SUNY and state government since it was revealed last week. The proposal shows SUNY is considering turning its College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering into a campus separate from the University at Albany.

The proposal would have to be approved by the SUNY board of trustees, Cuomo and the legislature.
