State Senators are urging SUNY to probe its $2.7 million contract with Springer Nature, accusing the publisher of censoring research in China on sensitive topics.
The senators argue that Springer Nature's actions prioritize business interests over academic integrity, which conflicts with SUNY's commitment to scholarly collaboration.
Despite the criticism, SUNY defends the contract, stating it saves money and ensures operational efficiency for its 64 colleges.
Lawmakers emphasize that SUNY should uphold its reputation for academic freedom, pressing for better accountability and oversight regarding this issue.
