The assassination of JFK still weighs so heavily on our minds because we want to make sure we know the truth about how a beloved president was killed. We need to know if our government duped us, or if Lee Harvey Oswald had accomplices.

All but one of the special construction projects on campus are on hold in the wake of a budget crisis at the New York State level. Of the twelve “strategic initiative” capital projects that were approved in Stony Brook’s last five-year plan, only one – the construction of a student recreation center – is still going forward.

The Research Assistants of Stony Brook University and the SUNY Research Foundation began hearings before the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) last Friday.
