Krzesinski to ECC City Campus: Drop dead!
Patricia Krzesinski, chairwoman of the ECC Board of Trustees, announced in a Buffalo News editorial today that she will push to close ECC's City Campus in downtown Buffalo.

Lashing out against criticism recently heaped on the board for its proposal to build a $30 million Health Sciences Center for Excellence at its North Campus in Amherst, Krzesinski writes:

I will, at the next scheduled meeting of the board, ask the trustees to begin the task of considering the plausibility of closing the most costly campus to operate. That, of course, would be our City Campus. It is the least efficient to run in terms of square feet per student.

Bernice Radle, chair of Young Citizens for ECC, says after reading Krzesinski's announcement over coffee this morning that she "couldn't believe my eyes."
