City University of New York Chancellor Félix Matos Rodríguez has followed through on increasing faculty diversity. Nine new college presidents – including two Asian Americans, three African Americans and three women – were appointed in the past year. Early on in the COVID-19 pandemic, CUNY established the Chancellor’s Emergency Relief Fund with $1 million each from the Carroll and Milton Petrie Foundation and the James and Judith K. Dimon Foundation. This grew to more than $8 million by the fall and allowed CUNY to distribute emergency grants to more than 10,000 students.

Most classes at Stony Brook University will be held in-person during the Fall 2021 semester.
According to President Maurie McInnis, only about 20% of the classes including those designed to be taught online and those with extremely large class sizes will be taught online. Large scale lectures will not be included partially because of a reduction in space due to the renovations to the Jacob K. Javits Lecture Center, which started earlier this year.
McInnis attributed the ability to return to in-person learning in part to the vaccine distribution by New York state and around the country. The university will still follow state and federal guidelines for their reopening, although they do expect fewer density restrictions in the next few months.
