       How are we 68th in the US, but 93rd in the National rankings?
       I'd imagine the criteria for the "global" vs "national" lists
       are different.

       To help achieve these goals, Governor Hochul's plan to expand
       SUNY's reach begins with making the institution into a global
       and national leader on research and innovation:
       Transform Stony Brook and Buffalo into global research
       institutions: Stony Brook University and University at Buffalo
       will become the flagships for SUNY, as well as world class
       research institutions. These campuses will look to meet the goal
       of $1 billion each in primarily federal research funding by
       2030. This would put these two universities in the top 20 public
       universities nationally in research expenditures. As a first
       step toward strengthening these institutions, Governor Hochul is
       announcing $102 million for a new academic building for the
       School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at the University at
       Buffalo, and $100 million in funding to construct a
       multidisciplinary engineering building at Stony Brook.
       And now, the second class  8)
       Revitalize Albany and Binghamton as nation-leading research and
       teaching universities: University at Albany and Binghamton
       University will be transformed into nation leading research and
       teaching universities, with a goal of achieving $500 million
       each in annual research funding. This will increase the economic
       impact of applied research and development, expand and diversify
       student enrollment, and improve graduation rates. Governor
       Hochul also plans to propose that the College of Nanoscale
       Science and Engineering (CNSE) reunite with the University at
       Albany to streamline management and promote research excellence.
       Binghamton University will also host BATTERY-NY, a technology
       development and manufacturing center. The Center will support
       the Southern Tier economy by developing the advanced
       manufacturing of batteries for clean energy technologies that
       will transform the transportation, military, and energy sectors.
       The Center will also establish a robust manufacturing
       infrastructure to support multiple industries and their supply
       chains.

       Okay, If Hochul wants to make SBU the premier FlagShip
       University then she needs to make the athletic program FlagShip
       as well. Like turning the football program into an FBS team and
       firing the existing coaches and hiring all new with FBS
       experience. Right??

       wow, this is big news, no?  shared with one is better than
       shared with three, no?
       i do feel a bit for bingo and ualBAny as they do have aspects
       that make them candidates for this.
       note- technically UCLA is not a flagship (Berkeley), i think.
       not sure if any other states have co-flagships...

       In reality only Buffalo and Stony Brook can properly represent
       the state as flagship Universities. Both share a lot in common
       from a strong emphasis in research, strong graduate programs,
       top tier professional schools, and large student bodies. They
       are also in geographic locations that can properly cover the two
       traditional regions of New York (Upstate, and Downstate NYC/Long
       Island)
       The last governor that tried to officially make Stony Brook a
       flagship went down in disgrace (Spitzer). Lets hope this lady a
       has better career

       i just read this- perhaps implying that the AAU had something
       (if not everything) to do with it:
       --- Quote ---
       > Across the country, flagship universities are those that
       provide vital leadership in advancing their home state’s public
       higher education mission. These universities, most of which,
       like UB and SBU, are invited members of the Association of
       American Universities (AAU), are the preeminent centers for
       research and graduate education in their respective states.
       --- End Quote ---
       i also read this as SB is already a tech/sciences school, so it
       will become more so in the future:
       --- Quote ---
       > Grow enrollment through developing institutional
       specialization: To encourage each SUNY campus to establish its
       own distinct identity, SUNY will create a challenge grant
       available to colleges that propose an area of distinction
       designed to grow enrollment and improve student job outcomes.

       "Before leaving office, former New York governor, Eliot Spitzer
       declared both Stony Brook University and the University at
       Buffalo as flagship institutes that would propel in research and
       would bring about economic development. However, with the new
       administration in place, the future of the whole SUNY system,

       What the…? I thought this day would never come.
       The thing about flagships is that they traditionally go by just
       the state’s name. I don’t see us rebranding to New York. But
       Rutgers sets precedent for weird nomenclatures.
       This better mean that we get flagship level athletic funding as
       well.
       I don’t take the “specialization” comment to target us. The
       flagship school of each state generally is very well-rounded,
       even if it has its own points of special strength. I think she
       was referring to the smaller colleges which lack a distinct
       identity and her plan is to further “specialize” those. Like
       what is Farmingdale to New Yorkers other than the school that
       SBU beats up in basketball by 40 points each year?

       Rutgers follows the same nomenclature as Stony Brook...
       Officially it is known as Rutgers, The State University of New
       Jersey
       I don't see a problem with our name:
       Officially the State University of New York at Stony Brook and
       marketed as Stony Brook University (SBU)
       State University of New York at Buffalo and marketed as
       University at Buffalo (UB)
       In California you have
       University of California, Los Angeles
       University of California, Berkeley
       Maybe what the State of New York should consider is adopting a
       different brand for the flagship schools such as University of
       New York, Stony Brook and University of New York, Berkeley while
       everyone else retains their SUNY label
