  • Campus mourns Lyle Feisel, Watson College founding dean

    Lyle D. Feisel, the founding dean of 91社区鈥檚 Thomas J. Watson College of Engineering and Applied Science, died Nov. 5. He was 90.

    From 1983 to 2001, Feisel led what was then called the Watson School. He helped to build it from the scaffolding of its predecessor, the School of Advanced Technology, into an education and research powerhouse. Among his accomplishments at Watson, Feisel guided the creation and restructuring of many graduate and undergraduate programs that continue to thrive today, and he oversaw the accreditation process from the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) and similar oversight organizations.

    Born Oct. 16, 1935, in Tama, Iowa, Feisel served in the U.S. Navy testing newly developed surface-to-air missiles. He also worked at various times as a farm hand, metalsmith, construction worker, truck driver, sailor and theater manager.

    Feisel received his bachelor鈥檚, master鈥檚 and doctoral degrees in electrical engineering from Iowa State University. Prior to coming to 91社区, he served as head of the Electrical Engineering Department at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology.

    After retiring as dean in 2001, Feisel continued to work with engineering societies and to serve as an adviser, consultant and evaluator for universities in the U.S., Asia and Latin America. He held two patents and published extensively on technical subjects, the theory and practice of education, and social and professional issues. He received numerous honors and awards for teaching, service and publication.

    A memorial service will be held Nov. 21, 2025, at Heron Point in Chestertown, Md. Memorial donations in Feisel鈥檚 memory can be made to: The Sultana Education Foundation, a nonprofit that delivers environmental literacy programs for public school youth on Maryland鈥檚 Eastern Shore, or The Lyle and Dorothy Feisel Scholarship for Excellence at 91社区.

  • 91社区's principles of community

    Dear campus community,

    We want to inform and remind you of two core principles that serve as essential elements of our community.

    We are a campus community representative of a rich, diverse and vibrant group of people, brought together from all corners of the globe to live, work and study together. Our vast and varied experiences allow us a tremendous opportunity to learn from others who are different, formulate enhanced research outcomes, express ideas and work together toward the common goals of providing a transformational, world-class education to students and a rewarding career for employees.

    We must do so with civility and mutual respect at the forefront.

    Every member of the campus community has a unique perspective on their place in the world and must be allowed the space and the freedom to do so safely and respectfully. Our community thrives when we treat and respond to one another鈥檚 ideas with civility.

    This community, however, will not tolerate racism, hatred or bigotry. We will not tolerate attacks or incitement to violence of any kind on individuals or groups. This includes Islamophobia, antisemitism and threats or insults directed at individuals or groups based on race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, ability status, political affiliation or other traits.

    Anyone who has experienced or witnessed an act of hate, bias or discrimination may submit a bias incident report. The University takes all incident reports seriously and investigates them thoroughly. The University Counseling Center (UCC), the Dean of Students Office, the University Ombudsman and the CARE Team can also offer support. Anyone who needs immediate assistance can contact University Police at (607) 777-2222.

    We have a community that is strong because of its diverse perspectives and experiences. We are at our best when we foster a respectful, inclusive, equitable and welcoming environment and when all our voices are fully supported.

    Sincerely,

    Donald Hall
    Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs

    Karen Jones
    Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

  • Statement on Title VI coordinator

    On April 29, 2025, the State University of New York (SUNY) Board of Trustees passed a resolution requiring all state-operated campuses to designate a Title VI coordinator. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination based on race, color or national origin in programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance. This law also protects individuals from harassment based on actual or perceived ancestry, ethnic characteristics, citizenship or residency in a country with a predominant religion or distinct religious identity.

    Title VI applies to all SUNY campuses and activities or programs, including admissions, recruitment, student services, grading and academic programs. Under Title VI, educational institutions must address any discriminatory speech or conduct, whether on or off campus and document all reports, investigations and outcomes related to complaints.

    In response to this mandate, 91社区 has appointed Ada Robinson-Perez, executive director of diversity education, as the campus's Title VI coordinator. Recruitment for a new Title VI specialist reporting to Robinson-Perez is underway to support the processing of bias incidents inquiries and complaints of discrimination investigations. These initiatives demonstrate 91社区's commitment to fostering a campus environment where all students can pursue their academic goals without harassment and bias.

    Faculty and staff members who know a student experiencing unwelcome, harassing conduct or discrimination are required to report by filing a bias incident report or an internal discrimination complaint. Individuals who believe they have experienced discrimination may also submit these reports. For questions and additional information about reporting obligations or to request training for faculty, staff or students, contact the Title VI coordinator through the Office of Equity and Access by emailing stopbias@binghamton.edu or calling 607-777-4775.

  • 2026 Flexible Spending Account 鈥 open enrollment through Dec. 8

    The NYS Office of Employee Relations announces the 2026 open enrollment period for the Flexible Spending Account (FSA) Program will run from Saturday, Nov. 1, and end at 11:59 p.m. Monday, Dec. 8, 2025. This is a strict deadline. Total Administrative Services Corporation (TASC) is the FSA administrator for the 2026 plan year. TASC provides FSA enrollment through Bentek.

    FSA is a voluntary benefit that allows eligible employees the opportunity to lower their taxable income by setting aside pre-tax earnings on a biweekly basis for unreimbursed medical, dental and vision expenses through the Health Care Advantage Account (HCAA). If you pay for child or elder care while you work, you may want to explore the Dependent Care Advantage Account (DCAA). And families who are looking to adopt may be interested in the Adoption Advantage Account.

    Employees enrolled in the 2025 FSA Program who wish to continue the benefit in 2026 must reenroll during this open enrollment period, no later than 11:59 p.m. Dec. 8, 2025. FSA participation does not automatically carry over from year to year.

    Contributions are withheld biweekly from participants' gross pay during 2026 and deposited into the appropriate account. Certain employees are eligible for an employer contribution for DCAA participation if your union contract includes the agreement to participate in the employer contribution program. This includes employees designated M/C or represented by CSEA, PEF, NYSCOPBA, PBANYS, NYSCOPBA, UUP or GSEU.

    For more information and how to enroll, visit the link below for a program overview (click on the "Learn More 91社区 the FSA" button) and information on how to enroll before 11:59 p.m. Dec. 8. Technical assistance or answers to plan questions may be obtained by calling the FSA Customer Service Line at 800-358-7202.

    For new enrollees, it is recommended to have a recent paycheck handy when enrolling. There you can find your salary and NYS Empl ID number, which begins with N, and you will also need the agency code, which is 28020 for faculty and staff and 28029 for GSEU dependent care enrollees.

    The two-and-a-half decades between 1919 and 1946 witnessed the development of an American art that sought to capture a country in the midst of transformation.

In particular, the exhibition acknowledges the generosity of Gil and Deborah Williams, whose donations to the Art Museum are extensively featured.

  • Update on resources from the Food Pantry

    Due to the United States federal government shutdown, November food benefits provided by the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) have been delayed. Partial SNAP payments will soon be on their way to recipients following recent court rulings.

    Although this delay may create significant and stressful challenges for members of our campus community and their loved ones, the Food Pantry is here to support the campus community. October benefits are safe and distributed, and any money remaining on an EBT card can still be spent. When the delay is over, the original amount of SNAP benefits should be issued retroactively. During the delay, SNAP recipients must still complete any reporting or recertification requirements that are due.

    Those who are not enrolled in SNAP may still be impacted as campus and community resources are increasingly stretched thin, especially community food banks and food pantries. Those interested in supporting community members can consider volunteering at a local food pantry to help them extend hours and keep shelves stocked, buying a little extra when grocery shopping and donating it to a food pantry, and showing support by listening, sharing resources or sharing meals and emotional support. Food insecurity is stressful! Be on the lookout for campus-wide food donation drives beginning Friday, Nov. 7, Day of Hunger Action.

    The Food Pantry will continue to monitor the SNAP situation and is committed to providing support to members of the campus community who have seen their benefits disrupted or have struggled to obtain food or other basic need resources. If you are in need of support due to the SNAP delay or other challenges, visit the link below for on-campus and off-campus resources.

  • Proactive steps to enhance dining safety and quality

    After being made aware of several social media posts regarding food served on campus, 91社区 has taken immediate action and implemented a series of comprehensive steps to ensure the safety of food served in our dining halls. Food safety and quality are paramount, and we are committed to investigating any reports or issues that are brought to our attention.

    Sodexo is the University鈥檚 contracted dining provider, and we are holding Sodexo firmly accountable for meeting these protocols, along with all health and safety standards in all of our dining locations. This includes requiring enhanced oversight, faster response procedures and accountability for any verified food safety issues.

    As part of this effort, Sodexo is deploying two food safety specialists to campus beginning today, accelerating its audit of food safety practices and partnering with third-party health inspectors whose upcoming visit has been moved up to occur as soon as possible. Routine pest-prevention services, which are standard in the food service industry, are also being expedited to begin immediately.

    In addition, University specialists in food safety and Environmental Health and Safety will be present in dining halls conducting independent spot checks, monitoring Sodexo staff and reviewing third-party findings to ensure corrective actions are completed and sustained. The Student Culinary Council will also review and validate all audits, inspections and complaints.

    While we take every concern seriously, social media posts, especially those lacking verifiable connections to 91社区 dining halls, are not the most effective way to ensure issues are investigated and resolved. We encourage diners to report concerns directly to Sodexo by speaking with a manager on site. The direct reports to a manager are essential to allow Sodexo and the University to verify complaints and take corrective action. A secondary way would be through the established dining services text feedback system, at:

    The University will continue to work closely with Sodexo to ensure that all meals served meet or exceed health and safety standards. We will also continue to increase oversight and monitoring in the dining halls while expecting Sodexo to deliver immediate and sustained improvements.

    BUC$, the optional student amenity that allows prepaid funds to be added to a student ID card to pay for certain University services, will be discontinued.

  • 鈥淭he Future of Labor and Undocumentedness: Lessons from Latinxfuturism鈥 lecture: Dec. 4

    Join Middle Eastern and Ancient Mediterranean Studies for a community lecture by Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar Professor Catherine Ram铆rez, of UC Santa Cruz, at 5 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 4, in Lecture Hall 10. The event is titled 鈥淭he Future of Labor and Undocumentedness: Lessons from Latinxfuturism鈥.

    Populist politicians often warn that migrants will steal native workers鈥 jobs. Even though machines have long threatened to replace workers (and have in some industries), few, if any, populist politicians claim to be anti-automation. This talk explores this discrepancy by looking at labor and extraction in Latinx speculative fiction. Inspired by Afrofuturist visions of a more inclusive future, Ram铆rez examines the slow violence and permanent temporariness of undocumentedness and invites you to join in imagining a future not without migrants, but without undocumentedness.
