Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Wednesday the State University of New York and the City University of New York will implement plans to maximize distance learning and reduce in-person classes, beginning March 19, for the remainder of the Spring semester in light of the evolving novel coronavirus situation in New York. All campuses will develop plans catered to the campus and curriculum-specific needs, while reducing density in the campus environment to slow possibility for exposures to novel coronavirus. Distance learning and other options will be developed by campuses.
