With New York City entering Phase 1 of the reopening plan, we are preparing to slowly, and safely, reopen our research facilities. We will begin with the laboratories that support most grant-funded research on campus and move subsequently to a more complete re-opening of research and studio space on campus, consistent with the pace of opening in New York City and CUNY.
All relevant documentation can be found from the Research Reopening link under the Research tab on the College homepage. The document "Phasing-In of On-site Research in Science, Engineering and Medicine… Read More »
As a result of COVID-19, the New York State Department of Labor (DOL) has emphasized adherence to a regulation that directs all employers to provide employer identification information to employees who are separating from service.

The form, which may be delivered by email, represents the extent of the information the College is… Read More »
Dear Members of the City College Community,
Early Tuesday morning, I began receiving emails from students, alumni and concerned citizens about a man, reported to be a CCNY student, who had posted a deeply offensive video of himself and a companion on Instagram, and was later filmed tearing down a "Black Lives Matter" sign on an overpass in the Whitestone neighborhood.

Still, this act requires a response. The language he used, in part to narrate his actions in… Read More »

These are difficult times. I understand that many of you are angry, confused, or feeling new levels of stress, both because of the recent tragedy in Minnesota, the resulting street protests and the violent escalations of those events. All this, of course, is layered atop the underlying… Read More »
Dear Members of the CCNY Community,
I am writing to join my voice, and the voice of the college that I represent, to the chorus of people who decry the murder of George Floyd, and call for a period of national transformation that will at long last provide security and equity for communities of color in our nation.
It is soul-wearying to review the sad, decades-long litany of incidents that should have encouraged us, as a people, along a more just and humane pathway. It is deeply horrifying to reflect on the innumerable occasions during which, but for the presence of a cell… Read More »
