Abstract

The Coronavirus (COVID-19) has thrown higher education into a time of uncertainty. Many scholars and pundits are making dire predictions about the future of tuition-driven colleges and universities, including most Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs). This report highlights some of the many actions of MSIs in the midst of COVID-19 – actions on the part of presidents, faculty, student affairs professionals, students, and others. These actions are organized in sections related to community outreach, communication, technology, mental health, basic needs support, and curricula. Hopefully they will inspire others to act in the most humane ways toward students, faculty, staff, and beyond.
