Columbia University and New York University suspended sponsored student travel abroad, including over spring break, in response to the spreading coronavirus.
Columbia is contacting students in study-abroad programs about returning home, according to a statement Tuesday. NYU, which has its own network of global campuses, said it’s giving students in places such as London, Sydney and Tel Aviv the option to continue their programs or return home and complete coursework remotely.
