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.

Stony Brook FINALLY has an accredited business school! Great!
One of the first steps to attracting a better student body than
the one we have right now.

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.

Better late than never:
2008 -
HTML https://www.sbstatesman.com/2008/09/18/flagship-status-on-back-burner/
"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,
including Stony Brook, is on hold."

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
