    State budget cuts have slashed funding to SUNY schools by $410 million over the last 18 months. This is affecting students' ability to graduate on time and afford college. Parents are encouraged to ask their children questions about whether they will graduate in four years, if class sizes are increasing, and if they can still get individual support from professors. Visiting uupinfo.org and speaking to lawmakers is presented as a way to advocate for restoring funding to public higher education.
