Finance and Management

In responding to the COVID-19 public health emergency, Buffalo State will:

• Provide a safe and healthy environment for students, faculty and staff, offering support for the physical and emotional well-being of our community 
• Promote and encourage personal and community responsibility for following federal, state and local restrictions and guidelines
• Remain grounded in our mission, vision, values, and strategic goals 
• Maintain flexibility to adapt to a changing environment
• Practice responsible financial stewardship and resource management

Buffalo State’s policies and protocols for responding to the COVID-19 pandemic are grounded in our concern for the safety for our students, faculty and staff, and the public. Our primary goals are to protect the public health; support our students, faculty and staff; and remain centered in our mission and strategic goals.

Our actions will be consistent with directives from Governor Cuomo and guidelines developed by the New York State Department of Health, the Erie County Department of Health and the State University of New York. As our understanding of the COVID-19 virus continues to evolve, guidance to faculty and staff may be updated or revised.
