A Key Player in Cuomo’s Economic Revival Plans Quits Two Nonprofits
ALBANY — A state university president who has been a linchpin in the Cuomo administration’s efforts to stimulate economic growth has resigned from the boards of two nonprofits that manage major real estate developments aimed at building tech hubs in faded upstate cities.
The official, Alain E. Kaloyeros, is the founding president and chief executive of the State University of New York Polytechnic Institute, which was created in 2014.
The institute has received praise — and billions of dollars in state funding — from Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, who has referred to Mr. Kaloyeros as a visionary in the field of nanotechnology, engineering at the molecular level, which the governor has heralded as an economic engine in the state.
Mr. Kaloyeros is also one of the state’s highest-paid employees, earning roughly $1 million in 2015 from the university system and the SUNY Research Foundation.
