Minutes/University Senate October 1, 2020 Page 2

President Hamilton welcomed members of the Senate to the meeting, the first since March when NYU transitioned to remote classes as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in New York. He explained that since March, the Senate Executive Committee has met regularly to ensure that the functions of the Senate continued to be carried out and to provide input as the University navigated the pandemic. President Hamilton said that with the start of the new academic year, the Executive Committee strongly believed that it was critical for the Senate to resume its meetings. He said that while the first meeting of the Senate is usually brief so that Senate committees had an opportunity to meet, today’s meeting would be more fulsome so that there could be discussion about the pandemic and the University’s response.

engaged in a fundraising drive to help support administrators, staff, and faculty and asked people to consider donating if able.

Tenured/Tenure Track Faculty Senators Council

T-FSC Chair Darcey Merritt reported that the T-FSC met regularly throughout the summer and collaborated with the C-FSC, including with respect to safety initiatives and anti-racism efforts. She also said the T-FSC’s committees were all hard at work. Finally, Dr. Merritt offered thanks to President Hamilton and University administration for its efforts in reopening NYU in the fall.

Student Senators Council

SSC Chair Nicky Nenkov reported that the SSC met regularly throughout the summer, including working with University administration to assess NYU’s fall reopening. They added that the SSC has also been working with the Deans Council and assessing SSC’s publicity and social media activities. Finally, they said that the SSC would be electing a Vice Chair and will let the Senate know when a Vice Chair is in place.

UPDATES

Public Health

President Hamilton introduced Carlo Ciotoli, Associate Vice President, NYU Student Health and Executive Director, Student Health Center. Dr. Ciotoli thanked the University community for their efforts in helping the University to safely reopen. He said that the University put in place a number of measures designed to protect the health and safety of the University community, including (1) the requirement to wear face coverings and social distance, (2) implementation of a Daily Screener that individuals entering NYU buildings are required to complete; and (3) COVID-19 testing, including gateway testing and ongoing testing. Dr. Ciotoli said that the University has administered over 57,000 tests, with a positivity rate of about 0.5%, which is lower than the positivity rate for .

Dr. Ciotoli explained that New York State issued supplemental guidance for higher education institutions stating that campus locations that experienced the lesser of 5% or 100 positive COVID-19 cases would be required to transition to fully remote learning for a period of at least two weeks; in response, NYU identified nine different campus locations that would be monitored. He said that the University receives daily reports about positive COVID cases for each location. Dr. Ciotoli emphasized that the University addresses positive cases in the moment and does not wait until New York State thresholds are reached. For instance, he said that the University’s recent efforts in isolating positive COVID-19 cases in Rubin Hall potentially mitigated a larger outbreak. Dr. Ciotoli said that the University is closely monitoring COVID-19 trends, including the recent spikes in cases in certain New York City neighborhoods.

Minutes/University Senate October 1, 2020 Page 4

President Hamilton thanked Dr. Ciotoli and his team for their hard work, including helping to put in place important measures, managing cases and anxieties, and helping to manage the required quarantining of students who returned to campus from states on New York State’s quarantine list.

Academics

President Hamilton introduced Provost Katherine Fleming to talk about the effects of the pandemic on the academic life of the University, noting that the Provost’s Office and the schools have worked very hard on planning for the summer and the fall. Dr. Fleming said that while these are challenging times, the educational collaboration between teachers and students has never been so great as it is now.

Dr. Fleming said that she wanted to address four topics: modality, advisement, the summer, and lessons learned. With respect to modality, Dr. Fleming said that classes for the fall are being offered in-person, remotely, or in a hybrid format (with both in- person and remote components). She said that the academic team is focused on strategies for ameliorating challenges. With respect to advising, given the importance of interaction between faculty and students, Dr. Fleming reported that faculty have added virtual office hours and outdoor meetings. Dr. Fleming said that work has already started on the 2021 summer semester and how to make the semester as substantial as possible. Finally, Dr. Fleming said that the University is examining the lessons learned from this experience so that those lessons can be integrated into academic life going forward. The Senate engaged in discussion, including about the percentage of in- person classes being offered and the evaluation of remote classes.

Housing and Student Affairs

President Hamilton introduced Linda G. Mills, Vice Chancellor and Senior Vice Provost for Global Programs and University Life. Dr. Mills noted that the University’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic began with the students who could not arrive in China last Spring because of the coronavirus outbreak there. COVID cases soon rose in several European countries, particularly Italy, eventually spreading to all the areas where the University has have global academic centers.

Dr. Mills explained that as the University planned for the Fall semester, we wanted to be flexible and engage as many students as possible, understanding that thousands of NYU students might not be able to travel to their home campuses but could live and study at another one of NYU's global locations. She said that the University’s analysis resulted in the creation of the University’s “Go Local” strategy, in which 16 locations across NYU’s global network could provide opportunities for students to take in- person classes closer to home. Approximately 2,200 undergraduate students are Going Local at NYU Shanghai alone, and roughly 500 more are Going Local at 14 other locations. In addition, Dr. Mills said that 650 undergraduate students are enrolled remotely in at least one course taught from the global sites. Dr. Mills said that the University will likely continue the “Go Local” program in the spring

Minutes/University Senate October 1, 2020 Page 5

Dr. Mills reported that NYU’s dormitories are at about 50% capacity (approximately 6000 students), in response to the University’s effort to de-densify NYU’s residence halls. Approximately 1,200 students are in singles, with the remainder of students living either in singles inside of suites or with roommates they selected. Dr. Mills also reported that the quarantining of students upon arrival (in response to a state mandate) went well after a food services issue was addressed.

Dr. Mills said that the University has been committed to thinking about student programming differently in light of the pandemic. There was a great deal of student engagement during Welcome Week (virtually), including the Presidential Welcome and the Reality Show; programming included a particular emphasis on wellness and career engagement.

Finally, Dr. Mills applauded the work of the student Public Health Ambassadors, who have logged over 8,000 hours in 35 locations offering face coverings and hand sanitizer to members of the NYU community, answering questions, and modeling positive public health behavior. She said that, overall, student compliance with the University’s public health policies has been very good, with a small percentage of students being disciplined.

Enrollment Update

President Hamilton introduced MJ Knoll-Finn, Senior Vice President for Enrollment Management, who provided an enrollment management update. Ms. Knoll-Finn said that despite the challenges brought about by COVID-19, the first year class remained very strong, with the highest SAT median in NYU’s history. In addition, there was a 9% increase in underrepresented students, a 6% increase in first generation college students, and a 17% increase in international students. Ms. Knoll-Finn also reviewed the racial and ethnic composition of the incoming class.

Ms. Knoll-Finn reviewed NYU’s retention and graduate rates, noting an increase in the overall six-year graduate rate since 2016 and a decrease in the first-year retention rate given the higher number of leaves of absence requested as a result of the pandemic. She also provided more detailed registration information, noting a 4.5% increase in summer registration, an increase of 1.5% in fall undergraduate registration, and a decrease in fall graduate registration.

Finally, Ms. Knoll-Finn discussed COVID initiatives undertaken in the area of student success, including Student Voice surveys, texting initiative, flex credit information sharing and outreach, and non-registered student outreach.

President Hamilton thanked Ms. Knoll-Finn and her team for their tremendous work during this challenging time.

Finances

President Hamilton introduced Stephanie Pianka, Senior Vice President for Finance and Budget and Chief Financial Officer, who provided an update on the University’s finances. Ms. Pianka said that the COVID pandemic has had a significant impact on the University’s finances. Although the fiscal year 2020 results are not final, she estimated that the pandemic has had a $143 million impact on the University resulting from, among other things, housing and dining refunds, student support, investments in remote learning, and the cost to prepare the University for the fall semester. At the same time, though, Ms. Pianka said that there was strong summer enrollment and increased research.

Ms. Pianka reported that the financial outlook for the fall semester remains uncertain, with decreases in student charges and other sources of income and increases in expenses for unbudgeted public health measures such as space reconfiguration. She said that the negative impact on the budget could exceed $300 million. Nonetheless, Ms. Pianka said that the University’s mitigation efforts have produced better than expected results. Mitigation efforts include restrained Other Than Personal Services (OTPS) spending, an administrative hiring freeze, 0% annual merit increases, and delays in new capital projects. Ms. Pianka said that more severe mitigation efforts may not be needed so long as the University continues to adhere to existing mitigation efforts and the situation does not worsen.

President Hamilton thanked Ms. Pianka and her team, as well as the schools and administrative units, for their efforts.

Global Diversity and Inclusion

Against the backdrop of the recent protests against racial injustice and the disparate impact of COVID-19 on underrepresented groups, President Hamilton said that the University would, building on a good foundation, accelerate its anti-racism programs and practices. He then introduced Lisa Coleman, Senior Vice President for Global Inclusion and Strategic Innovation, and Chief Diversity Officer, to provide an overview of the University’s diversity and inclusion efforts.

Dr. Coleman thanked her team and University partners for their work in support of diversity and inclusion, noting the disproportionate burdens placed on underrepresented minorities, women, and people with disabilities, among others. She said that while the Office of Global Inclusion, Diversity and Strategic Innovation is only three years old, it has launched many programs and is continuing to build on the themes identified in the Being NYU initiative to further develop strategic planning. Dr. Coleman summarized many innovative programs that have been developed, including (1) the appointment of global inclusion officers who are charged with building capacity related to inclusion, diversity, belonging, and equity; (2) the Women 100 program, which celebrates the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment; (3) events focused on global inclusion, diversity, belonging, and equity; and (4) the expansion of the MLK Scholars

Minutes/University Senate October 1, 2020 Page 7

program. Dr. Coleman said that the University has also received grants to do research in this area, including research on the impact of COVID-19 on underrepresented communities.

Dr. Coleman reported that the University is closely monitoring President Trump’s recent Executive Order Combatting Race and Sex Stereotyping. The Executive Order, which addresses workplace training and is scheduled to take effect in late November, targets diversity and anti-bias training for employees. Dr. Coleman said that the University will be in communication with peer institutions and representative organizations such as the Association of American Universities and the American Council on Education to monitor developments.

REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT

President Hamilton said that the University has been involved in important COVID-19 research, including clinical trials for treatments and . He said that a more fulsome report of the University’s efforts in this area will be presented at the next meeting.

President Hamilton reported that the Department of Education issued revised Title IX regulations in May and required universities to update their Title IX processes and procedures by August 14th. He said that the regulations required significant changes to the University’s Title IX policies and procedures and that there will be a more detailed update provided to the Senate at its next meeting. President Hamilton advised the Senate that the University entered into a voluntary resolution agreement that resolved a complaint brought against the University by the federal Department of Education, Office of Civil Rights alleging incidents of anti- Semitism. The agreement was entered into without any adverse findings or any admission of wrongdoing by the University. As a result of the agreement, the University will revise its non-discrimination policy by clarifying what has always been the case: that the University prohibits discrimination on the basis of shared ancestry and ethnic characteristics.

OTHER BUSINESS

President Hamilton invited questions and comments from members of the Senate.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 11:04 a.m.

Respectfully submitted, Pietrina Scaraglino Deputy General Counsel and Associate Secretary
