LOL, I didn't even know this and I'm supposed to. Think Stony Brook got bent out of shape when Buffalo got designated the flagship. Anyway, Binghamton has much better departments and programs. We use all 3 schools as benchmarks and there's no comparison between SB and the other 2. The flagship status for UB came with an additional $300m in funding which SB didn't get. I didn't even know it was announced as a flagship. Unfortunately, I have to get involved in assessments every couple of years, which is a horrendous exercise for anyone involved in Higher Ed. This is where I draw my information.I'm no expert on the SUNY system but Stony Brook shares the designation of flagship and is AAU. Much better bang for the buck than South Canada SU. I guess my original point about SUNY is that the northeast schools were designed to be regional. If the 4 main SUNY schools were 1, it would have a $1 billion plus endowment with 95k students. Just Buffalo and Stony Brook combined would be greater than $1 billion and 60k students. That's B1G.
