Ian Mortimer, a former director of enrollment who is now the president of the Golisano Institute for Business & Entrepreneurship, says there is too much focus on loan debt relief.

- Ian Mortimer, president of the Golisano Institute for Business & Entrepreneurship
- Kent Gardner, recently retired chief economist with the Center for Governmental Research
