New York -- Recently, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo asked the State University of New York (SUNY) to reexamine its existing diversity plans to ensure these plans are furthering New York's goals of diversity and inclusion.

He requested SUNY to prepare a report due by August 15, 2018 outlining how it will expand and increase diversity representation on its campuses.


In September 2015, the SUNY Board of Trustee passed a new "sweeping" diversity and inclusion policy. The hallmark of the policy was that there would be a chief diversity officer appointed on all 64 campuses that reported directly to the campus president or provost. However, three years later not all campuses have complied with the policy.
