Poly hired a criminal defense firm for 1.5mill in July...

I have no additional information..but I'm not sure that's exactly what the article said. It sounds like SUNY (the university system) hired the firm to represent the institute (Poly).

Pretty convenient that the winning bidder bought out the entire neighborhood adjacent to NANO at above-market rates right before the project was announced.

At least UA's name isnt being dragged into this. Perhaps the split was a blessing in disguise. TBD at least

Like a rabid dog, lashing out...

ego-maniac...!

If only there was some mulligan card we could pull to get this school back under UA control and that Stony Brook kicked out permanently.

 

*Sigh* In a perfect world...

Letter to the T-U editor reflects what most of us think

 

Return CNSE to UAlbany fold

 

I don't expect it until AK and Cuomo are both gone.

It will NEVER happen IMO. The more they build up over there, and duplicated buildings, services etc. the harder it will be. This letter is like 1 year to late. It's impossible to ignore the fact that the ego-maniac that is running that place is an absolute shame and embarrassment to this college. Don't they have an oversight board or something to reign him in? Depending on what happens with the investigation that's ongoing, what's the future there without him?

Would be a truly amazing thing. The value of my degree would jump considerably...just having that school attached to the UAlbany name.

Never say never. Seems to me all it takes is a new governor with a different view. Hasn't most of these developments been hammered in by a governor?

We may have lost the Nano college for now but our new engineering college will look awesome.

 

Looks like we're asking for $59M to renovate the old Albany High School, which is a very stately traditional building. Looks like it belongs at Monticello or University of Virginia.

 

Also, adding electrical and biomedical engineering is very cool.

The are so many projects still underway it's amazing. I completely forgot about the Entrepeneur startup project. I forget the exact name but it's another $200M or so.

 

Really big projects.

Integration continues with our law school. Post nano years
