Representing SUNY Oneonta were <strong>Ethan Fox<\/strong>, <strong>Penina Kamina<\/strong>, <strong>Anthony Nichols<\/strong>, <strong>Jessie Simpauco<\/strong>, <strong>Shirley Clark<\/strong>, and <strong>Marvin Rodriguez<\/strong>, each lending their voice to a unified call for a stronger, more equitable SUNY. Our team had the opportunity to speak directly with <strong>Assemblyman Brian Miller <\/strong>and advocate for our SUNY budget priorities. Ethan Fox stepped forward to make a video with a strong message to Governor Hochul: Tax the Rich! Meanwhile, Anthony and Marvin went on to distribute literature containing our requests to Legislatures inside the Capitol Building. Our district <strong>Senator<\/strong>, <strong>Peter Oberacker<\/strong>, unfortunately was not present at this meeting, so we followed up with an e-mail request outlining the UUPs Budget priorities for SUNY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/uuphost.org\/oneonta\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image.jpeg\" alt=\"UUP Oneonta Advocacy Day Representatives:  Penina Kamina, Ethan Fox, Jessie Simpauco, Shirley Clark, Anthony Nichols, and Marvin Rodriguez\" class=\"wp-image-2360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uuphost.org\/oneonta\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image.jpeg 780w, https:\/\/uuphost.org\/oneonta\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-300x185.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/uuphost.org\/oneonta\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-768x473.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">UUP Oneonta Advocacy Day Representatives: Penina Kamina, Ethan Fox, Jessie Simpauco, Shirley Clark, Anthony Nichols, and Marvin Rodriguez.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"608\" height=\"545\" src=\"https:\/\/uuphost.org\/oneonta\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-1.jpeg\" alt=\"UUP Oneonta President Shirley Clark with NYS Assemblyman Brian Miller at Advocacy Day\" class=\"wp-image-2361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uuphost.org\/oneonta\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-1.jpeg 608w, https:\/\/uuphost.org\/oneonta\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-1-300x269.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 608px) 100vw, 608px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">UUP Oneonta President Shirley Clark with NYS Assemblyman Brian Miller at Advocacy Day.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"615\" height=\"617\" src=\"https:\/\/uuphost.org\/oneonta\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/3-19-26-Fred-At-Advocacy-Day-2026.jpg\" alt=\"UUP Statewide President Fred Kowal gives an inspirational speech\" class=\"wp-image-2362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uuphost.org\/oneonta\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/3-19-26-Fred-At-Advocacy-Day-2026.jpg 615w, https:\/\/uuphost.org\/oneonta\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/3-19-26-Fred-At-Advocacy-Day-2026-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/uuphost.org\/oneonta\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/3-19-26-Fred-At-Advocacy-Day-2026-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">UUP Statewide President Fred Kowal gives an inspirational speech.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"560\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/uuphost.org\/oneonta\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/3-19-26-CommComm-At-Advocacy-Day-2026.jpg\" alt=\"UUP Oneonta Advocacy Day Representatives:  Ethan Fox, Jessie Simpauco, Anthony Nichols, and Marvin Rodriguez enjoying the presentation.\n\" class=\"wp-image-2363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uuphost.org\/oneonta\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/3-19-26-CommComm-At-Advocacy-Day-2026.jpg 560w, https:\/\/uuphost.org\/oneonta\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/3-19-26-CommComm-At-Advocacy-Day-2026-300x211.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">UUP Oneonta Advocacy Day Representatives: Ethan Fox, Jessie Simpauco, Anthony Nichols, and Marvin Rodriguez enjoying the presentation.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"622\" height=\"411\" src=\"https:\/\/uuphost.org\/oneonta\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/3-19-26-Shirley-Penina-At-Advocacy-Day-2026.jpg\" alt=\"UUP Oneonta Chapter President Shirley Clark and Academic Delegate Penina Kamina\" class=\"wp-image-2364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uuphost.org\/oneonta\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/3-19-26-Shirley-Penina-At-Advocacy-Day-2026.jpg 622w, https:\/\/uuphost.org\/oneonta\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/3-19-26-Shirley-Penina-At-Advocacy-Day-2026-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 622px) 100vw, 622px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">UUP Oneonta Chapter President Shirley Clark and Academic Delegate Penina Kamina.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Budget Priorities Presented by the Delegation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Campus Operating Aid<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>$141.8 million total, including:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>$100 million in system\u2011wide operating support<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>$41.8 million in targeted aid to close structural deficits at the most fiscally stressed SUNY Campuses ESF, Buffalo State, Fredonia, and Potsdam.
