I write first of all to thank all of you for your adaptability in this stressful time. As you will have seen from my message yesterday evening, a limited number of classes will return to campus beginning tomorrow, while the rest will remain online for now. Students, faculty and staff coming to campus will find an enhanced security presence designed to keep the campus safe. Nevertheless, this may be unsettling to many of you and to our students. I ask that faculty provide maximum flexibility to our students, remembering that students with classes on campus are likely also to have… Read More »
After careful consideration and input from the campus community we will re-open campus, on a limited basis, beginning on Wednesday, May 8. Classes with essential activities that cannot be completed remotely (studios, labs, etc.) can resume on campus, with the appropriate Dean’s approval, beginning on Wednesday. Other classes will continue online for the time being. Instructors who need to hold classes on campus now should work with their Chair and the Chairs should submit a list of classes resuming in-person instruction to their Dean for approval. Anyone coming to campus will… Read More »

I write to let you know that classes will remain online on Monday, May 6th. I expect that soon thereafter we will resume in-person classes and I will endeavor to give everyone at least 24hr notice before returning to classes on campus.
Thank you for your understanding, and thanks to all of you for making the move to online on such short notice.
Dear CCNY Faculty and Staff,
I am inviting you all to a town hall next week to speak with all of you, centering mainly around encampment related events of this week. I’d like to spend some time spelling out a timeline for events and unpacking my thinking around the actions we took in relation to the protest. We do not have the staff right now to support an in-person meeting, so we will be online.
In order to allow ample time for discussion and questions, I am limiting this first town hall to faculty and staff. I will follow up on May 8 with a town hall that specifically invites… Read More »
Dear CUNY Community,
As you know, we returned from spring break yesterday at a time marked by the increasing presence of demonstrations at colleges across the country, including at City College. As a member of the CUNY community for over 20 years, first as a member of the faculty, then as president of two CUNY colleges, and now as Chancellor, I know that calling on the NYPD to assist an on-campus incident is something to be done only as a last recourse, and one I hoped I would never have to consider. Below, I want to share why we reached that very difficult decision on Tuesday… Read More »
Dear City College Campus Community,
I write to you tonight with a brief update on activities that have happened on campus since we issued our remote posture email yesterday. I know that for many of you, the idea of an NYPD presence on campus is anathema. In the next several days, I will provide more details concerning what happened and why we took the decisions we did. I’ll also find a time in the near future to meet with faculty and staff in a town hall to take questions. For now, I’d like to present the facts as we know them.
For the last several days, we began to… Read More »
Dear Campus Community,
We hope this message finds you well. We regret to inform you that due to the current demonstrations occurring on campus, we currently lack the necessary staffing to manage Benny's Food Pantry effectively. Therefore, the NAC Benny’s Pantry location will be closed until further notice. We understand the importance of Benny's Food Pantry in supporting members of our community, and we are actively working to resolve this issue as soon as possible. For those with scheduled appointments, a member of Benny's team will contact you individually to arrange a new… Read More »

Dear Members of the City College Campus Community,
I’m writing to update you on recent events on campus and to provide you with some guidance about tomorrow. As you likely know by now, there is an encampment of demonstrators on our quad, and it is posing significant difficulties for us.
Throughout our history, inclusive of these last few months, we have respected the right to protest and the values of academic and speech freedom. Events since October have put those commitments to the test, but we have endeavored to reconcile the tensions that often exist between supporting free… Read More »
