Bill > A05733

This bill requires the State University of New York (SUNY) and the City University of New York (CUNY) to publish comprehensive annual reports about their foundations and campus operations by November 1st each year. These reports must be posted publicly on their respective websites in a machine-readable format and include three key categories of information: financial reports with audited financials and long-term liabilities, a detailed list of all contracts with vendor information, and a comprehensive employee roster listing employees by campus, department, and job location. The employee information must include annual salaries, job titles, job descriptions, and benefits. The bill includes important privacy protections, specifying that certain sensitive information such as trade secrets, personal privacy details, and academic research records can be withheld from the public reports. The reports are intended to increase transparency about the financial operations and staffing of SUNY and CUNY institutions, providing the public with detailed insights into how these public university systems manage their resources and personnel. The bill will take effect on the first day of January following its passage.
