4. A: Governance

The Campus Reopening Committee is responsible for monitoring health conditions and will consult with Senior Staff to begin initiating campus reclosing, as needed, in response to daily reporting from the Campus Coronavirus Liaison that includes warning signs of increasing infection, community spread or outbreaks on campus. In addition, researchers and/or operations requesting approval to resume on-campus activity will be required to include a Return to Campus Recovery Plan that includes a plan for ramping-down activities if necessary (to be approved by the Campus Access Committee).

Should local health conditions deteriorate or if community spread is occurring on campus, the Committee will review the situation, consult with Senior Staff and the President of the College, as well as with the Chancellery/COO’s Office on COVID-19 exposures, local and state health officials to determine if closure or reversal is needed. Similarly, if the CUNY Board of Trustees or NYS call for partial or full closure, the College will activate the plans to do so. Closure decisions will be widely and rapidly communicated to the Guttman community.
