The Massachusetts Community College Council, which represents the faculty and professional staff at all 15 community colleges, is calling on the governor, the state higher education commissioner, the state attorney general and community college presidents to close all community college campuses to protect the public health during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The work of the students, faculty and staff at Massachusetts community colleges will continue – but it should be conducted remotely and in compliance with the many directives from public health officials to maintain physical distances between people.

Please take action today to ensure the safety of all — and protect the public health.
