In the wake of a revealing investigation into major academic improprieties committed by the men’s basketball program at the State University of New York at Binghamton, the system’s chancellor took steps to prevent such abuses at other SUNY institutions on Tuesday. Nancy L. Zimpher said at a Board of Trustees meeting that the system will appoint an “athletic oversight officer” who will report only to her and the board. Zimpher also said she will “regularly convene campus presidents, athletic directors and [faculty athletics representatives] to discuss cross system interests, guidelines and benchmarks.” She added that the system “will use the principles and guidelines developed from those meetings to hold presidents accountable for campus activities.”
