SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Syracuse University College of Law Dean Craig Boise plans to step down from the role at the end of this academic year.

He has served as dean since 2016.

Following a sabbatical, Boise will return to the College of Law to teach, mentor, and continue his work as a legal scholar, Syracuse University said in an online announcement.

Information on the search effort to identify Boise’s successor is “forthcoming,” the school noted.

“Craig’s impact has been transformative,” Gretchen Ritter, Syracuse University vice chancellor, provost and chief academic officer, said in a university statement. “Under his leadership, the College of Law has been exceptionally strong in research, which is not traditional for law schools, and it has been innovative and entrepreneurial, particularly as it relates to evolving the legal education space to meet the needs of today’s students, increasing accessibility and opening doors to those who may come from post-traditional pathways. Craig has been an outstanding leader, partner and innovator and will leave behind an incredible success on which to be built.”

Boise came to Syracuse University from the Cleveland State University College of Law during a “period of great stress in legal education” when there were substantially fewer law-school applicants and a soft legal job market, Syracuse said.

“Craig saw these challenges as opportunities,” Syracuse University Chancellor Kent Syverud said. “He knew that law schools that could quickly pivot and creatively figure out ways to develop collaborative, interdisciplinary, novel and relevant course offerings and degrees would stand out competitively and attract talented students and faculty. I look forward to his continued contributions to Syracuse University as a legal scholar and colleague.”

When Boise stepped into his role as dean of the College of Law, Syracuse University said he described his vision to create “a sustainable law school that leverages the knowledge, skill and imagination of its faculty and staff to expand legal education in innovative ways.”

Seven years later, Boise is announcing his decision to step down “with that vision achieved,” the university contends. The College of Law is on “strong” financial and academic footing with new, “innovative” programs, partnerships and modalities, and students and graduates “performing at high levels during and after their legal education,” it adds.

“No dean remains in the role forever — we are merely stewards of our institutions for the time that we serve, with the goal of leaving them better than we found them,” Boise said. “I’m gratified to know that the College of Law is in a strong position on all fronts and that we can embrace the future with confidence. What our outstanding faculty and staff have created together — supported by our remarkable alumni — will serve as a solid foundation on which the next generation of extraordinary Orange lawyers will build their professional lives as they, in turn, strengthen the college’s reputation and impact.”

Accomplishments

In its announcement, Syracuse University listed several accomplishments for the College of Law under Boise’s leadership. They include launching the JDinteractive online J.D. program, “the first such program in the country to utilize virtual classrooms” and the “only online J.D./MBA program in the country” in partnership with the Martin J. Whitman School of Management.

In addition, the Syracuse College of Law launched the Orange Advance pipeline program with Spelman and Morehouse Colleges and Clark Atlanta University in Atlanta. The College of Law also significantly increased both the diversity and credentials of the student body; on average, students of color have comprised 30 percent of entering classes, with a record 37 percent for the entering class of 2022, the university noted.

In addition, Boise has “significantly strengthened” the college’s financial position, by operating with a balanced budget and “raising more philanthropic dollars than ever before,” the college noted.

The annual fund surpassed $1 million for the first time in the college’s history and will exceed its $38 million Forever Orange Campaign goal more than one year ahead of schedule.

New York’s cybersecurity strategy and what it includes

ALBANY, N.Y. — New York’s first-ever statewide cybersecurity strategy aimed at protecting the state’s digital infrastructure from today’s cyber threats.

The strategy articulates, for the first-time, a set of high-level objectives for cybersecurity and resilience across the Empire State, the office of Gov. Kathy Hochul said in announcing the strategy on Aug. 9

It clarifies agency roles and responsibilities; outlines how existing and planned initiatives and investments “knit together into a unified approach;” and reiterates the state’s commitment to providing services, advice, and assistance to county and local governments.

New York State’s cybersecurity strategy provides public and private stakeholders with a “roadmap” for cyber-risk mitigation and outlines a plan to protect critical infrastructure, networks, data, and technology systems.

“Our interconnected world demands an interconnected defense leveraging every resource available,” Hochul said in the announcement. “This strategy sets forth a nation-leading blueprint to ensure New York State stands ready and resilient in the face of cyber threats.”

The strategy unifies New York’s cybersecurity services in order to protect critical infrastructure, personal information, and digital assets from malicious actors. It also provides a framework to align the actions and resources of both private and public stakeholders, including county and other local governments, Hochul’s office said.

Hochul announced her commitment to bolster New York’s centralized cybersecurity during this year’s State of the State address. The $90 million investment for cybersecurity included in the state budget made $30 million in shared-services funding available to help local governments in strengthening their own defenses against cyber threats.

Part of this strategy includes providing $500 million to enhance New York State’s health-care information technology, primarily cybersecurity infrastructure, as well as $7.4 million to expand the New York State Police’s cyber analysis unit, computer crimes unit, and the Internet Crimes Against Children Center.

Defining principles

The state’s cybersecurity strategy is defined by three central principles: unification, resilience, and preparedness.

When taken together, New York State can “lean on these tenets to present a unified and more resilient” defense against new and more sophisticated cyber threats; preventing the vast majority of attacks but also isolating, controlling, and mitigating potential threats; and preparing, adapting and “always being ready for the cyber challenges of the future,” Hochul’s office contended.

The strategy offers a blueprint for cybersecurity stakeholders across New York, from state agencies to local governments, to understand how they fit into a larger plan. The blueprint provides objectives, lines of effort, and a commitment from the governor that they can use when doing future planning and program design.

Hochul also signed legislation to expand New York’s technology workforce and provide funding to help ensure that New York–based employers are able to hire and retain necessary cybersecurity staff.

Ask Rusty: I’m a Veteran. How Do I Get My Extra Social Security?

Dear Rusty: As a military veteran, I was told that the final amount of my Social Security should be a little higher as a reward for my military service. If so, I have two questions: 1. How much is the boost? 2. How can I know that amount has been applied?

Signed: Unsure

Dear Unsure: We receive questions about this fairly often from our military veterans. I want to first thank you for your service to our country and then assure you that, as a military veteran myself, I have thoroughly investigated this subject — the so-called “Special Extra Credit for Military Service,” which is widely misunderstood. Although someone suggested that your Social Security benefit “is supposed to be a little higher” because you are a military veteran, allow me to share how this somewhat obscure rule actually works.

Any extra money for military veterans does not come in the form of a special “boost” to their Social Security benefit because of their military service; instead, certain older veterans receive extra credit to their earnings for the years they served. Those extra earnings are applied only to those who served in specific years, as additional dollars added to their actual earnings record for their service-years. The amount added to the veteran’s true service-year earnings varies a bit depending on which years you served. For example, if you served between 1957 and 1977, your actual earnings for each service-year would be increased by $300 for each full quarter you had active duty pay to a maximum of $1,200 additional earnings per service-year. The credit is computed a bit differently for those who served from 1978-2001, but the maximum annual earnings credit for those service years is the same — $1,200. And, for clarity, those who served before 1957 get extra earnings credit under an entirely different formula, and those who served after 2001 receive no extra credits for their military-service years.

So how might this affect your Social Security benefit? Well, when your benefit is claimed, the Social Security Administration (SSA) reviews your lifetime earnings record, inflates each actual annual amount to equal today’s dollar equivalent, and selects the highest earning 35 years from your lifetime record to calculate your “Primary Insurance Amount” or “PIA” (your PIA is the amount you are entitled to at full retirement age). If your military service-years are among the 35 years used to compute your PIA when you claim, then the “Special Extra Credit for Military Service” will result in a somewhat higher PIA (a slightly higher monthly SS benefit). If the highest earning 35 years in your lifetime record do not include your military-service-years, then those extra credits added to your earnings for your military-service-years will have no effect on your Social Security benefit (because using those service-years would result in a lower benefit). How the SSA applies those special extra credits to your service-year earnings also varies depending on when you served. Those who served before 1968 needed to show their DD-214 to get the extra credits, but those who served in between 1968 and 2001 were automatically given the extra credits based on their military-service records.

So, if your military service was between 1968 and 2001, your earnings during the years you served were automatically increased by the SSA to reflect your “special extra” earnings and — if those years are among the highest of the 35 years used to compute your Social Security benefit — you are now receiving the extra benefit amount you’re entitled to from those credits. If you have at least 35 years over your lifetime where you earned more than your pay while serving in the military, your current benefit is more than it would be if your military-service years were included. If you have questions about your earnings during your military service years, you may wish to obtain a copy of your lifetime earnings history from the SSA to review those amounts (easiest way to get your lifetime earnings history is via your personal “my Social Security” account at www.ssa.gov/myaccount.

An accounting firm in Dallas, Texas on Nov. 1 will combine its operations with the larger Bonadio Group.

Rochester–based Bonadio sees the combination with Howard, LLP as one that “strengthens its commitment to the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex,” per the Oct. 4 announcement. It didn’t divulge any financial terms of its agreement with Howard.

The Bonadio Group describes itself as the largest independent provider of professional services in upstate New York. Founded in 1978, the Bonadio Group is a CPA firm offering accounting, tax, and advisory and consulting services to clients of all sizes across a variety of industries. It operates an office at 432 N. Franklin St. in Syracuse.

When the deal goes into effect, all 85 employees of the Dallas–based CPA firm will join the Bonadio Group and Howard, LLP will begin to operate under the Bonadio Group name, the firm said. Bonadio currently has more than 800 employees total, per its website.

The two firms had been discussing a combination deal for about a year, per an article on the website of Accounting Today.

The Bonadio Group opened its Dallas office in October 2018, “based on increased client needs and the potential for growth in the robust regional business environment,” Bonadio said. Combining with Howard “represents a continuation” of the Bonadio Group’s ongoing growth strategy, which includes the “expansion of both capabilities and footprint.”

Tim Pike, CEO of Howard, LLP, will serve as regional managing partner of Bonadio’s Dallas location and a member of the firm’s board, effective Nov. 1. Pike joined Howard in 2004 and has served as CEO since 2021.

“Howard and The Bonadio Group share important compatibilities in our approaches to client service and corporate culture,” Pike said in the Bonadio announcement. “We look forward to building on the successes of our firms’ combined 90+ years of experience and are excited about the benefits our clients and employees will gain from this.”

Jeff Wexler, current Dallas regional managing partner, helped open the Dallas office in 2018 and has been integral to the success and expansion of the firm throughout the region. As Wexler transitions the role of regional managing partner to Pike, he will refocus his efforts on business development and client service to support “continued strategic growth” in Texas, Bonadio noted.

Howard, which was founded in 1973, provides experience in tax and compliance services including business, individual, estate, and franchise-tax planning. Those tax capabilities “complement” the Bonadio Group’s assurance and advisory and consulting services, providing clients with “enhanced offerings, capabilities, and expertise to help optimize business performance,” the firm contends.

“Howard features a strong roster of clients across multiple industries, a team of outstanding professionals, a culture that mirrors our core values, and an excellent reputation in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex,” Bruce Zicari, CEO of the Bonadio Group, said. “For those reasons and more, Howard is the ideal CPA firm for us to join with as we seek to provide superior service for our clients and increased development opportunities for our people. We’re thrilled to welcome Howard to The Bonadio Group.”

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. — Coughlin & Gerhart, LLP, a Binghamton–based firm, announced that it recently added Carrie A. Wenban as special counsel to its legal team.

She was previously a partner at Levene, Gouldin & Thompson, LLP, another law firm based in Binghamton. Wenban brings a wealth of experience and knowledge in the legal areas of business, banking, real estate, and commercial transactions.

As special counsel, Wenban will focus on providing legal services to clients in various practice areas, including business and banking law, cannabis, real estate, and energy law — both in New York state and Pennsylvania, according to a Coughlin & Gerhart news release. Her diverse background and extensive experience will enable her to offer comprehensive and strategic legal advice to individuals and businesses, alike, the firm contends.

Wenban earned a bachelor’s degree from Binghamton University in 2000 and her law degree from the Syracuse University College of Law in 2004. Admitted to the New York State Bar in 2005 and the Pennsylvania State Bar in 2013, Wenban is well-versed in the legal landscape of both states, per the release.

Throughout her career, Wenban has been an active member of several professional organizations, including the Broome County Bar Association and the New York State Bar Association.

Beyond her legal accomplishments, Wenban is deeply involved in her community. She has been an integral part of the Jewish Community Center of Binghamton, serving as the board president from 2016-2019 and continuing to serve as a member of the board, Coughlin & Gerhart said. Wenban also chaired the JCC Early Childhood Center Parent Committee for many years. Additionally, she is a member of the executive leadership team for the American Heart Association Southern Tier Heart Walk.

“Carrie’s extensive legal knowledge and her dedication to her clients make her a valuable addition to our team. We are confident that the depth of her experience will greatly benefit our business and banking clients and further strengthen our firm’s capabilities in the area of commercial transactions,” Rachel Abbott, managing partner of Coughlin & Gerhart, said about Wenban joining the firm.

Founded in the 1890s, Coughlin & Gerhart has more than 55 lawyers and professional support staff. In addition to its main office in Binghamton, the law firm has locations in Bainbridge, Ithaca, Owego, Hancock, and Walton, N.Y., and an office in Montrose, Pennsylvania.

On Sept. 14, Gov. Kathy Hochul signed three pieces of legislation into law, all of which are reflective of her ongoing efforts to strengthen workers’ rights in New York state.

Written notice of unemployment benefits

Bill (S. 4878-A/A. 398-A) amends Section 590 of the state’s Labor Law. Under this new legislation, employers must provide written notice of eligibility for unemployment benefits to any employee who has been terminated, temporarily separated, experienced a reduction in hours or any other interruption of continued employment that results in total or partial unemployment. This information must be disclosed on a form furnished or approved by the New York State Department of Labor (NYSDOL).

The new law will take effect on Nov. 13, 2023.

Personal account-information disclosure

Beginning March 12, 2024, employers are prohibited from requesting, requiring, or coercing an employee or job applicant to: (i) disclose a username and password or other login information in order to access a personal account through an electronic communication device; (ii) access a personal account in the employer’s presence; or (iii) reproduce information contained within a personal account through unlawful measures. This new legislation, which amends the Labor Law to add section 201-i, prohibits an employer from discharging or disciplining an employee, or refusing to hire an applicant for failure to disclose such information.

This law is also subject to certain exceptions and limitations. For example, an employer may require disclosure of personal information in order to access nonpersonal accounts that allow access to the employer’s internal computer or information systems. Employers may also view, access, and rely on information obtained through the public domain. The law also allows an employer to obtain login information for accounts provided by the employer where the account is used for business purposes and the employee was provided prior notice of the employer’s right to inquire about such information.

An employer is also permitted to access an electronic-communications device, which is paid for in whole or in part by the employer where the provision of or payment for such device was conditioned on the employer’s right to access. However, the employee must have been provided with prior notice of the condition and explicitly agreed to it. Nevertheless, the employer is still prohibited from accessing any personal accounts on the device.

This law excludes law-enforcement agencies, fire departments, and departments of corrections and community supervision.

DOL notices to unemployment applicants

Under this new legislation, the NYSDOL is now required to provide notice to unemployment applicants of the supplemental nutrition assistance program (SNAP) and the special supplemental nutrition program for women, infants and children (WIC). This new law takes effect Jan. 12, 2024.

SYRACUSE — The co-founders of Blueflite say capturing the $1 million top prize in the Genius NY accelerator is quite an accomplishment.

Blueflite, of Detroit, Michigan, is a business that offers a drone-based logistics platform.

The firm won top honors during the pitch-finals event, which was part of the Tech Garden’s “Innovation Night” held Oct. 4 at the Marriott Syracuse Downtown.

The Tech Garden administers the Genius NY program. Genius NY stands for stands for Growing ENtrepreneurs & Innovators in UpState New York.

Blueflite’s “patented, unique, and all-electrical drone design has vertical take-off and landing capabilities, advanced maneuverability, and is built to meet the rigorous demands of commercial operations,” the office of New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said in announcing the results.

“Blueflite is thrilled to have won the prestigious GENIUS NY $1M prize, organized by CenterState CEO. We see this as a remarkable achievement and testament to our capabilities, and we are enthusiastic to begin an exciting journey strengthening our presence in the State of New York,” Frank Noppel and James McClearen, co-founders of Blueflite, said in the state’s news release. “The support from GENIUS NY has been invaluable, and we look forward to drive innovation and excellence in the drone industry, benefiting not only our company but also the communities we serve.”

In addition to Blueflite, the other finalists involved earned $500,000 investments. They include Aloft of Silver Spring, Maryland; GreenJets of the United Kingdom; Voltela of Brooklyn; and VOTIX of Weston, Florida. VOTIX was also named as fan favorite at the pitch event, per Hochul’s office.

The year-long Genius NY program is described as the “world’s largest” business-accelerator program focused on uncrewed aerial systems, robotics and IoT, or Internet of Things.

The accelerator offers incubator space, company resources, programming and mentoring to finalists. Participants are required to operate their business in Central New York for at least one year.

“Investing in the innovative technologies created by GENIUS NY teams helps to spur advancement in the uncrewed aerial systems industry and Central New York’s startup ecosystem,” Robert Simpson, president and CEO of CenterState said in the release. “Using these investments, the teams will be able to grow as a company, create jobs and further expand what it means to innovate in Central New York. As CenterState CEO expands its programming to include more diverse entrepreneurs and technologies in the area’s innovation economy, GENIUS NY remains a keystone in our success.”

To date, New York State has made $21 million in direct investment in 37 Genius NY teams over the program’s seven rounds, per Hochul’s office.
