She has a good resume, but we have no idea what she feels about
athletics.
I guess McCormick was only ever going to be an interim, but I
really liked his energy.

McCormick looks to Stony Brook�s future while navigating
political upheaval in an exclusive interview

[quote]
The Statesman sat down with Interim President Richard L.
McCormick for an exclusive interview on Thursday, April 24.
Interview topics included the University�s responses to ongoing
political events, particularly federal funding cuts to research
and the dismantling of the Department of Education, recent
on-campus events and the conclusion of his term as interim
president.
At the same time, it has been a difficult semester because the
new initiatives coming from the federal government have been
harmful. Stony Brook hasn�t been hurt nearly to the extent that
some of the elite private universities such as Harvard
University, Columbia University and John Hopkins University
were, but we have felt some of those changes.
As of [Wednesday, April 23], we have 17 faculty members who have
lost their funding and the University has lost at least one
grant. When a faculty member loses a grant that affects the
graduate students, it affects the postdoctoral fellows who are
in his or her lab.
We are preparing to provide emergency funding for as many of
those as we can. Even if we�re not hit the way Columbia
University or Harvard University is, these are real people whose
careers are in jeopardy because of the federal cuts. Imagine if
you were a second-year graduate student and your mentor lost
funding, your funding would be gone too. It�s a serious thing.
With respect to other changes, Stony Brook is not abandoning its
commitment to opportunity and access. We couldn�t if we wanted
to, it�s who we are as a university. The only thing that we�re
doing in response to the federal government�s concerns about
those things is making sure that there are no programs that are
racially exclusive.

If it�s an opportunity, it has to be available to everyone, not
based on race. I don�t think we have any programs like that.
But, if we did, we would have to broaden them to admit everyone.
Other than that, we�re not making changes to what we believe and
at the heart of what we believe is access and opportunity for
everyone.
SUNY Chancellor John B. King Jr. has a phrase that he�s used
often, �There will be no anticipatory overcompliance,� meaning,
�Don�t go taking websites down because you think you might be
ordered to do so.� We�re going as though we believe what we
believe � not in anticipatory overcompliance.
HTML https://www.aaup.org/report/against-anticipatory-obedience
Some universities have completely sacked their [diversity,
equity and inclusion] programs, fired a bunch of people, taking
all that stuff off their website � we�re not doing that.
McCormick: We�re very alarmed about the students that have lost
their visas. It�s 11 so far at Stony Brook. As far as we know,
they�re all still in the United States and they�re all free to
continue their education. (As of Monday, April 28, those 11
international students� visas have been reinstated).
We are trying to provide them with resources to make sure that
they have at least the minimum they need [to stay afloat]. We�re
looking out for them. We�re concerned about them. They are our
students. We believe in them and we�re going to protect and
support them.
This is an expensive place to live. Housing is especially
expensive and we sometimes lose graduate students who want to
come here but can�t afford to live near Stony Brook.
The Department of Education is responsible for one of the most
important things in higher education and that�s loans and grants
like the Federal Pell Grant Program. With so many employees
having been laid off there, we are wondering whether our
students will get the Pell Grants that they�ve earned? Will they
get the federal loans that they�ve applied for?
It�ll have a big impact. If students are unable to get their
federal loans or get the resources associated with their Pell
Grants, that will have a huge impact on the students but also on
us. They won�t have the money to pay us.
I�m too old to be a real president, but I�m not too old to be an
interim president. I said when I took the position, my title
will be interim president, but I�m going to be the president. By
which I meant, I would not just keep the lights on and the
trains running. I would look to the future even though I�m not
going to be here for the future.
You could say that as interim president, my time�s up July 31,
and I shouldn�t think about anything beyond July 31. I do not
agree with that. I want to be just as far-sighted as I would
have been if I was the permanent president.

Fluff piece with no substance and no mention of athletics. The
background in this video is as empty as any weekend on campus
during the school year. How about we address that. &#128079;
