Faculty, Staff and Student Support Resources
Recent executive actions suggest significant changes to immigration, federal funding, and diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives that will impact institutions of higher education including Canisius. At this time, many details of these actions are uncertain. As the university works to gather information and develop clarity to be shared with the campus, the following resources are available to support faculty, staff and students.

The office is working closely with contacts in Washington, D.C., other higher education institutions and colleagues to provide the information needed to support each other and make necessary decisions regarding grant-funded programs. The vice president of academic affairs will be available on Thursday from 9:30-11:30 a.m. in the Faculty Lounge to discuss these evolving issues and other matters.
