2020 - President Lee Bollinger sends out an announcement via email, canceling class due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Two significant events have happened in the last 24 hours. The first involves the increased number of people in the surrounding region infected with the virus and, most immediately, the discovery that one of the members of our community has been infected. The second change is the announcement that the federal government is entertaining the prospect of imposing restrictions on domestic travel."

"All of these actions will lead us to become an even more virtual community for the time being."

"We must significantly reduce the number of students in our residence halls. Any student who can leave must leave, by Tuesday, March 17."

Students are instructed to pack their belongings and evacuate the city as soon as possible.
