Vice Chancellor John J. O’Connor said, "It is In the face of this economic uncertainty that the importance of a strong public higher education program to assist the State in its economic recovery cannot be overstated. This is the premise on which the State University’s 2009-10 Budget Request is built. It allows the University to step up and help itself, while asking the state to simply cover its basic obligations, and at the same time establishing a plan to allow the University to partner with host communities through public-private partnerships, generating millions in revenues needed to support the University and also help local businesses."
