SUNY Fredonia will likely cut 13 programs, in an effort to right-size after years of declining enrollment, college President Stephen Kolison, Jr. announced.

Members of the SUNY Fredonia faculty union held a silent march on campus Tuesday to protest anticipated cuts in programs and staff to address a $17 million structural deficit.

Founded in 1826 before becoming a member of the State University of New York system in 1948, SUNY at Fredonia is located a 45-minute drive from Buffalo on Lake Erie.
