[Important Information for Employees] Update on Campus Spending Constraints

[Administration & Finance]

SENT ON BEHALF OF JOSEE LAROCHELLE, VICE PRESIDENT FOR ADMINISTRATION AND
FINANCE

Dear Colleagues:

Over the course of the past 15 months, The College has done a tremendous
job limiting expenditures to those deemed critical under our hiring and
spending constraint program. This work has not been easy but it has been
necessary to comply with the budget directives we have received from SUNY.
I thank each of you for your efforts carefully scrutinizing your
expenditures and preparing detailed justifications.

As you know, July 1st marked the beginning of the new fiscal year.  While
we had hoped that the new fiscal year would allow some flexibility, we have
received guidance from SUNY that the constraints will remain in effect for
2021/22, at least through the end of September 2021.  During this time,
SUNY Leadership will continue to work with the NYS Division of Budget to
assess the situation and provide guidance to campuses as to the continued
need to maintain these constraints.

Administration and Finance will continue to engage our colleagues at SUNY
and will keep you informed of significant developments.  In the meantime,
thank you for your continued patience and cooperation as we strive to carry
out our mission while meeting our obligations.

Cordially,

Josee
