It will call for flexibility in response to changing developments, as well as in our teaching and learning to accommodate the challenges our students and faculty will face.

NYU Emergency Relief Funds
We recognize that the impacts of COVID-19 may have imposed unexpected expenses or financial hardships on members of the NYU community. To assist students, NYU created the COVID-19 Emergency Relief Grant program, which uses funds generously donated by the NYU community, University funds, and federal CARES Act funds, which the University is committed to using for direct student assistance.
There is now the NYU Emergency Relief Fund for Faculty and Employees as a way for NYU friends, alumni, and fellow employees to help support employees in the face of new challenges presented by COVID-19. Initiated by and developed in partnership with the Administrative Management Council, 100% of all donations will directly support our employees’ most urgent needs as they adapt to changing circumstances.
We attempt to respond to all email messages, even during University closures.
Phone
Available 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. ET Monday–Friday when the University is open. Emergent inquiries should be directed to (212) 998-2222.
Support Resources
COVID-19's impacts are not confined to its medical effects; its disruptive reach has touched many parts of people's lives. The overall well-being of the NYU community matters. The University has an array of services to help and support students, faculty, administrators, and staff who have been affected by the coronavirus.
Supporting Each Other Through COVID-19
NYU recognizes that COVID-19's effects have been disparate, and its impacts on poor communities and communities of color have been especially painful. In its response to the coronavius, NYU is committed to mitigating those impacts as well as ensuring no one in our community is ostracized, bullied, or mistreated due to ignorance around this disease. If any member of our community believes they have experienced harassment or discrimination, we encourage them to report concerns to the Bias Response Line by email at bias.response@nyu.edu or phone (212) 998-2277.
