POTSDAM, N.Y. (WWNY) - Governor Cuomo says âno excuses.â He intends to require COVID-19 shots for all SUNY students. But some think the governorâs approach might not be the best.
Cuomo laid down the law for students at the State University of New York on Monday.
âYou must have a vaccine to come back in September,â he said.

The State University of New York on Wednesday launched an auto-enrollment program for about 10,000 food insecure students to receive benefits under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Chancellor Jim Malatras said.
“Within our Educational Opportunity Centers alone, 50% of our students have suffered from food insecurity at some point, which is why SUNY is tackling this issue on multiple fronts, whether it is having food pantries on or near campuses, to today’s important program of automatically enrolling eligible students into the SNAP program,” Malatras said. “Today’s expansion will allow our dedicated students to focus on their academic pursuits and career goals instead of where they will get their next meal.
