[Three Whereas clauses precede] “Therefore, be it resolved that the SUNY
UFS strongly urges the administration to create a substantial pool of transition funding that would be made available for a number of years sufficient for these campuses to support the evaluation, planning, and timely implementation of the changes necessary to garner the resources distributed through the Resource Allocation Tool.”
