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 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 »

As of tomorrow, May 1, 2024, and until further notice, all City College classes will be held remotely and all College functions will move online. Campus buildings will be closed to everyone except essential personnel, as defined by supervisors in each area.  Additional information is available here.


As Spring Break comes to an end, I write to update you on tightened security for entering buildings on campus as a result of the encampment setup on the Quad. Only City College faculty, staff, students and named guests will be allowed inside campus buildings. CCNY faculty, staff and students will be required to show a valid CCNY ID at the door. If your current ID does not have a 2024 validation sticker, you will need to get one. Stickers are available at the OneStop and/or the ID office in NAC 1/206. Anyone expecting a visit from a guest will need to leave the guest’s name with… Read More »


Dear Campus Community, I write today with a brief update on on-campus activities that have taken place over the last several days. Just before 9 a.m. on Thursday, April 25, a group of demonstrators calling themselves the “CUNY Gaza Solidarity Encampment” set up a tent encampment on our quad. Although they are sited at the CCNY campus, most of their demands are directed at the University. The demonstrators appear to be made up of students, faculty and staff from City College and across the CUNY system and a sizable contingent that is not affiliated with any CUNY campus. We face… Read More »
