AASCU is closely monitoring the coronavirus and its potential impact on the higher education community.  We have compiled a resources page to keep our members abreast of the latest developments regarding the outbreak.   

We know institutions are taking critical measures to inform their students and faculty, and some have postponed classes at their international campuses or have moved classes online in an abundance of caution. 

This resources page will continue to be updated regularly as we gather more information from our members. If you are an AASCU institution and have information about your campus response that you would like us to share, please email markovitzv@aascu.org.
