Stony Brook cancels classes
Stony Brook University cancelled all in-person and remote classes and exams and all in-person activities on Monday.
In-person classes and exams “are not to be converted to a synchronous virtual format,” though instructors are allowed to offer limited supplemental materials online, the school said in a message on its website. Students with clinical assignments “should refer to their school or program policy or contact their clinical coordinators with any questions or concerns.”
The governor is the only person who can close state campuses, and she has not ordered the school to close, university officials said. Essential personnel “should report to work,” and non-essential employees should work remotely, officials said.
Stony Brook University Hospital and the Long Island State Veterans Home are operating on their usual schedules, the university said.
