"New York Open for Sending Business Elsewhere"

"New York needs to communicate that it is the place where businesses want to come and stay."

When the State University of New York, for example, outsources the printing of 8 1/2" x 11" SUNY diplomas to Michael Sutter Company of Heber City, Utah, is the idea that they're hoping Michael Sutter Company will come to New York? That's not going to happen; they print diplomas for other states too. Why doesn't the SUNY Press or some business based in New York print them? SUNY seems to like undermining Governor Cuomo's efforts.

Ordering diplomas used to be a big production, however for us, since switching to Michael Sutter, it is truly a non event. We simply press a button and the Michael Sutter company completes the diploma process in a few days.

If ordering diplomas is so simple it's a "non event", the matter of a few days, why is it that diplomas aren't sent from Utah until weeks after Commencement? It would make a lot more sense if they were available at Commencement. Is that the Michael Sutter Company's fault, or the UAlbany Registrar's?
