Nick Buglione: High school education in New York will suffer without Regents exams

Governor Hochul’s New Cornell Policy

FROM GOVERNOR KATHY HOCHUL: “Every student deserves to feel safe on their campus. And when someone reports sexual assault, they deserve to be heard, treated with compassion, and know their allegations will be taken seriously and thoroughly investigated by law enforcement trained to support survivors. “That is why, at my direction, the New York State Police signed an agreement with Cornell University in which all sexual offense complaints that would normally fall under the jurisdiction of Cornell University Police will be immediately referred to State Police for criminal investigation unless otherwise requested by the individual. “What Jane Doe described is horrifying. Survivors should be able to trust the institutions responsible for protecting them. We cannot afford to let them down. I will continue to do everything in my power to make sure survivors are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve, and that justice and accountability are pursued.”

The History of the State University of New York System SUNY

For much of its history, New York State had some of the country’s most prominent institutions of higher learning without having a unified state university system. Columbia University, Cornell University, Syracuse University, and other private colleges helped establish New York as a major center of scholarship, while state-supported schools trained teachers, agricultural specialists, and people entering technical professions. But the colleges serving the public were scattered among separate institutions, rather than organized as one comprehensive public university.

BOCES unveils new nursing school at former Johnson City High School

Tucked behind an old high school in Johnson City, the next generation of licensed practical nurses are building their careers. Each day, students study nursing at a new center at 435 Main St., in what was once the detached gymnasium of the former Johnson City High School. The building now hosts the Broome-Tioga BOCES Practical Nursing program, a 10-month LPN program that past students say has prepared them for a wide variety of jobs in the nursing field. When enrolling, students can choose between the full-time 10-month program or the part-time program, which extends studies over 20 months. For full-time attendees, the program's tuition is around $17,500, while part-time students can expect to pay around $8,700 a year. New BOCES Nursing Center offers top-tier education in historic building For Wendy Antalek, supervisor of Health Careers and School Health Services, the new center represents BOCES nursing program's growth over the past years. Ahead of the building's ribbon-cutting on Oct. 27, Antalek explained the new space offers significant advantages for students and teachers alike. A key factor, according to Antalek, is the ample opportunities for students to work in simulated nursing environments, including many hospital beds, a full simulated hospital room and

Governor Hochul Announces Free Community College Access for New Yorkers

Local news about the companies, people and issues that impact business in Westchester County and beyond. Earlier this month, Governor Kathy Hochul announced the expansion of her Reconnect program to help New Yorkers develop new skills in various high-demand industries. The Reconnect initiative was launched in 2025 and has provided free community college, books, and supplies to over 15,000 adults if the applicant did not have a college degree (except for those enrolled in nursing programs). This new expansion allows New Yorkers to enroll in a free SUNY or CUNY associate degree program even if they have a degree in a different field. This initiative aims to address the impacts of artificial intelligence on the workforce.

These are New York's top 10 colleges, according to TIME

Columbia University and Cornell University ranked among the nation's best colleges in TIME Magazine's Best Colleges rankings, released last month. TIME partnered with data research firm Statista for its inaugural report of America’s Best Colleges of 2026-2027 , which ranked colleges that "excel at student outcomes, learning environment and attractiveness to students," according to the publication. Schools with historically strong STEM programs ranked high on the list, including the top two universities: Stanford University (No. 1), known for its startup culture and connection to Silicon Valley, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (No. 2), a patent powerhouse, according to TIME. New York's highest-ranked university, Columbia University in New York City, is best known for its Core Curriculum and strength in the humanities and social sciences, including its graduate programs in journalism, business, law and international affairs, according to Oriel Admissions. Cornell University in Ithaca is known for its focus on engineering, agriculture and life sciences, as well as hotel administration. Although Cornell, like Columbia, is an Ivy League school, some of its colleges are state-supported contract colleges , which offer lower tuition to New York residents. Other Cornell colleges are endowed and rely on private support, according to the university.
