The State University of New York Board of Trustees has announced the additional allocation of $2.2 million in Direct State Tax Support to SUNY Brockport from the FY 2025 Enacted New York State budget.
The $2.2 million represents a 12% increase over the past year. Brockport has seen a $5.7 million (or 37.6%) increase in state support over the past two years. The funding is part of a historic investment under Governor Kathy Hochul’s leadership, with the combined 2023-24 and 2024-25 budgets representing the largest two-year allocation to SUNY in at least five decades – an increase totaling $277 in Direct State Tax Support.
“SUNY Brockport is incredibly grateful to Governor Hochul and the New York State legislature for their continued support of public higher education,” said SUNY Brockport President Heidi Macpherson. “Such support is critically important to our ability to continue to offer our students an outstanding, affordable education. We look forward to utilizing this funding to further enrich the experience of our students.”
The funding will support faculty and staff salary increases reflected in recent collective bargaining agreements, student internship experiences, and faculty and student researchers.
