The coronavirus is causing schools to move to online instruction.
New York City’s top two fashion design schools have decided to cancel classes and move to remote instruction in light of the growing coronavirus pandemic. Both the Fashion Institute of Technology and Parsons School of Design are increasing measures to avoid outbreaks on campus.
FIT president Joyce Brown issued a memo to students this afternoon noting, “Beginning March 16, all classes will be suspended for a week to allow faculty to prepare for potential online class instruction and for staff and administration to prepare contingency plans for working remotely or implementing alternative scheduling in the event the campus is required to close or there is a determination to reduce the population density of the campus.
Beginning March 16, all travel will need to be registered by students, faculty and staff through an online portal. The school has canceled all large-scale events through March and April. FIT maintains that no cases of COVID-19 have been detected within the school’s community.
