While the interruption is scheduled to begin at 8:00 am its impact on IT services will begin around 6:30 am and is expected to be restored fully by 4:00 pm.

To the extent that it is feasible to do so, it is recommended that all electrical equipment in your office or lab be turned off before you leave for the Thanksgiving Holiday as a precaution against an electrical surge when power is restored. If there is research or other equipment, animals, or perishable refrigerated items in your area that are likely to be affected by the interruption, please take the necessary precautions to minimize any potential risk of damage or loss. Please contact the Helpdesk at extension 5300 if assistance is needed to secure your lab or office equipment.

If you need to contact Public Safety in the event of an emergency, please dial (646) 483-3890 as the college's telephone land lines will not be working during the power interruption. Service to the regular Public Safety telephone number will resume in the late afternoon on November 26.

If there are specific concerns about how the interruption may affect your area, please contact Mr. Noel Gamboa at ngamboa@york.cuny.edu.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

    • More than ten months since Haiti’s devastating earthquake that killed 300,000 and made 1.5 million homeless, the majority of people are living in substandard conditions that are violations of international human rights conventions. The cholera epidemic and the hurricanes and tropical storms that continue to batter the region expose the fragility of life under ripped tents, where many are without clean drinking water or adequate sanitation. Women are exposed to gender-based violence in ever-greater numbers. Come hear a range of on-the-ground efforts, activists, and research to find out what exactly is going on, and what can be done to help, while the U.S. Congress finishes its session and before the national elections scheduled in Haiti for November 28.

The high crime rate and deficiencies in the criminal justice architecture of many countries have had a domino effect on prisons they are over-crowded and under-resourced in several respects. This presentation will provide a portrait of crime in the Caribbean, examine the nexus between crime and incarceration as a response to the crime, and posit the necessity for penal reform.
