SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher says cuts to programs that help disadvantaged high school students gain the opportunity to attend college, as well as reductions to federal college aid, would have a huge negative impact on New York’s colleges.
"It would have a devastating effect on access, and access leads to completion, leads to workforce development, and leads to economic success. That's the whole issue here that is at stake, and I think that's exactly what will be debated by the Congress," said Zimpher.
Zimpher spoke to public radio and television as she ends an eight-year term as the head of one the nation’s largest university systems next month.
