The CCNY Libraries will return to normal operating hours on Monday, May 13th. At this time, only people with a current, valid CCNY ID will have access to the building and the libraries. Check out our website library.ccny.cuny.edu for more information or to reach out to us if you have any questions. We look forward to having you back!


Beginning on Monday, May 13th we will return to our normal modalities for classes and exams. All classes that are normally held in person will return to campus for the last three days of the semester. Final exams will also be held as they normally are, in person and on campus according to the posted schedule. Shuttle buses will also resume normal routes and hours of operations. I fully understand that returning to campus after the events of the past two weeks will be stressful. I hope that the normality of the final three days of classes next week will ease that stress as we… Read More »


Dear CCNY Students, I am inviting you all to a town hall today to speak with all of you, centering mainly around encampment related events. 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.   The town hall meeting will be held today Wednesday, May 8, 2024 at 4pm. The meeting will be via Zoom. You can find the details below: Join Zoom Meeting https://ccny.zoom.us/j/81333854033?pwd=… Read More »

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 »
