Right now behind the scenes, SUNY leadership is challenging the state over its exclusion from Phase 1B.

If you look at the list of eligible people, it includes school staff in Pre-K through 12th grade, but colleges didn't make the cut.

William Canning, president of United University Professions, issued a letter today to SUNY staff members saying that they contacted the SUNY chancellor to voice their displeasure with not being included with other educators in this phase of the rollout, "and strongly reminded the chancellor of the need to vaccinate all those in education that come into direct contact with students, faculty, and staff."

The memo says that the hope is during the course of the week, SUNY staffers will be included in the list of people allowed to be vaccinated now.
