Earlier this year, Cornell President Martha Pollack convened an advisory committee to study options for fall instruction in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The committee will be presenting their report and recommendations to President Pollack in mid-June, and we have been told to expect a decision on fall instruction by the end of June.
The committee is weighing a number of scenarios (for example, one might be a blended model, with some courses delivered online and some in person; another might be that we initially start in a fully virtual environment). The committee is also working closely with New York State officials and public health experts as they consider their options. Additionally, Cornell Tech’s location means that decisions made for the Cornell Tech campus might differ from decisions made for the Ithaca campus.
