Surprise, surprise. When the situation gets tough (headlines in Newsday about the main campus, then the medical school, then the censorship of art) and the campus leadership is repeatedly challenged with incompetence, more celebrations are held for media figures (or their memories). Just like buying political favors, with one important difference. SSK pays with hush money from the taypayer (State and Federal) or donated (fund raising) funds......it is both as sham and a shame. As the sun sets on the academic/research engine at Stony Brook, the presidential amelioration is "wearing red on Fridays"......Nelson R. must be rolling over in his grave....what a fall from excellence......

Why does Stony Brook University wait until their profs croak before it "rewards" them posthumously? APPRECIATION is last on SBU's agenda, when it should be #1 by example!

Isn't this the same paper that Shirley banned from campus a year ago?
