Hundreds of students from Stony Brook Southampton, which is slated to close at the end of summer, organized an over 12-mile walk in protest of the administrative decision.

Last week, all Facebook applications, including the popular game Farmville, were inaccessible from on-campus computers.

Shubo or Daniel, as his friends called him, was enrolled in the Intensive English Program on campus and was looking forward to a bright future here in the States, said President Samuel L. Stanley. Lin was a transfer student from China Medical University and would have been an undergraduate at Stony Brook this coming fall.

Despite spending over $78 million dollars on the school in the last three years and over $3 million in LEED-certified buildings such as a brand new sustainable library, the decision has been made to cut financing for the Southampton campus in an effort to save $6.7 million a year.

Still reeling from President Stanley’s gut-punch announcement that the sustainability-centered Southampton campus will be mothballed to cut costs, outraged students are preparing to combat SUNY in court.

Budget woes, impeachments and a penis scandal, oh my! The offices of the Stony Brook Undergraduate Student Government on the second floor of the Student Activities Center are filling up with gossip, political jockeying and the clashing of power-hungry egomaniacs. Oh, and some governing.

One of the two new residence halls opening to students for the Fall 2010 semester is to be named Yang College, for Dr. Chen Ning Yang, a world-renowned physicist and 1957 Nobel Laureate.

Following a $29,000 operating budget deficit for the past two years, the Stony Brook Statesman’s Undergraduate Student Government budget allocation has been significantly slashed from $27,000 to $2,500.
