Each state-operated campus in the SUNY system has its own University Council, which includes as a voting member a student enrolled at the host institution. Members are appointed by the governor to seven-year terms with the exception of the student representative, who is elected by the student body.

THE MEMBERS OF SUNY ONEONTA’S UNIVERSITY COUNCIL ARE: 

  • Mr. Gary Herzig, chair
  • Mr. Joseph Bernier
  • Dr. Diane Georgeson
  • Mr. Anthony German
  • Ms. Stacie Haynes
  • Mr. Alec Hodge
  • Ms. Debra Parisian
  • Mr. William Rivera
  • Mr. Daniel Sniezek

University councils have specific statutory powers, such as naming buildings and making regulations regarding student conduct. Council meetings are open to the public, and each council meets at least four times a year. Minutes and digital recordings of meetings are available online. Written meeting transcripts will be made available upon request to the President’s Office. 

SUNY Oneonta’s University Council members also are members of ACT, the Association of Council Members and College Trustees of the State University of New York. ACT advocates for quality public higher education encourages discussion of institutional and system-wide issues among university leaders, and seeks to strengthen SUNY generally.
