University councils have specific statutory powers, such as naming buildings and making regulations regarding student conduct. Council meetings are open to the public, and each council meets at least four times a year. Minutes and digital recordings of meetings are available online. Written meeting transcripts will be made available upon request to the President’s Office.
SUNY Oneonta’s University Council members also are members of ACT, the Association of Council Members and College Trustees of the State University of New York. ACT advocates for quality public higher education encourages discussion of institutional and system-wide issues among university leaders, and seeks to strengthen SUNY generally.
