Dear CUNY employee,
As you may know, the CUNY Board of Trustees voted on Monday to authorize a vaccine mandate for faculty, non-teaching instructional staff and employees in the Executive Compensation Plan in compliance with a public policy directive issued by Governor Hochul on December 31. This policy will help to ensure a continued safe return to in-person classes, programs and facilities and further protect our University community.
The policy requires all full- and part-time faculty, all non-teaching instructional staff (which includes, among others, NTAs, CLTs and those… Read More »

This memo is a follow-up to the Human Resources (HR) memo dated January 18, 2022, which informed employees that effective February 28, 2022 they are expected to return to in-person work at 70% of their work schedule.
Please note that from January 28, 2022 through February 27, 2022, employees are expected to continue following 50% in-person capacity guidelines which have been in place since August 2021. This means 5 out of the 10 days in a two-week work cycle employee must be on campus.

Dear Faculty,
As many of you prepare to return to campus, I wanted to ensure that you are aware of the campus access protocols. Every person coming to campus must show proof of vaccination or have a negative COVID test result that is no more than seven days old. This is done through your Cleared4 account.
Adjuncts only
Most adjuncts have a start date in CUNY First of 1/28/2022. This means your Cleared4 account is in a state of “paused.” Because your account is paused, it means that your vaccination information from CUNY First has not been sent… Read More »
Dear Faculty,
There have been some changes to CUNY’s quarantine and isolation policies that I would like to share as it pertains to classroom exposures.
If a faculty member tests positive:
if possible (meaning you are physically well enough) move your class temporarily to the online modality.
Notify
ccny-covid@ccny.cuny.edu
of your status and include your full name and EMPLID.
Notify your chair and your class of the temporary modality change and send an email to
provost@ccny.cuny.edu
. If you cannot teach, notify your chair immediately
Follow isolation… Read More »
This memo is a follow-up to the Human Resources (HR) memo dated June 9, 2021, which informed employees that effective August 2021, they were expected to return to in-person work.
At this time, CUNY has provided us with an updated mandate as it relates to in-person work scheduled to take place February 28, 2022. Specifically, CUNY announced a target of 70% in person learning. As a consequence, in order to provide essential in-person services to our students and the college community, the in-person employee density level will be increased from 50% to at least 70%… Read More »

Dear CUNY Community,
I hope you were able to enjoy the holiday season with family and friends and, as we look to begin the new year, are cautiously optimistic as I am that 2022 will be a year of positive change.
