Oswego, NY – The State University system will see a signficant reduction in spending under Governor Paterson's directive to all state agencies to slash spending. SUNY officials have yet to confirm the numbers, but the labor union representing SUNY faculty says the cuts will be painful. WRVO's Chris Ulanowski spoke to United University Professions President Phillip Smith.
