  urlLink Suffolk politicians trying to keep Southampton College for education use urlLink Watch the Video Some Suffolk politicians are urging administrators at Long Island University to keep the Southampton campus for educational use. A supervisor, a legislator, a senator and a congressman all say they have ideas and influence to keep Southampton College going after the undergraduate program moves to Old Brookville in September 2005.
Officials say the campus is zoned for residential use with a special exception for education. Southampton’s town supervisor says things could get complicated if LIU decides to try and sell the land for development. LIU released a statement in which the chair of the board of trustees said there is a “clear preference to preserve the 110-acre site if at all possible for education, cultural and not-for-profit services. However, it is incumbent upon the Board to explore all options.” No final decision will be made about the fate of Southampton College until the board of trustees of LIU meets in October. ************************ WHEN and WHERE in October will the Board of Trustees be meeting?? I feel a protest coming on...
