Long Island University (LIU) is a private university in the U.S. state of New York.
It has 15,197 students and 1400 academic staff.
History
LIU was chartered in 1926 in Brooklyn by the New York State Education Department to provide "effective and moderately priced education” to people from “all walks of life."[1] In 1951, in response to the growing number of families moving to the suburbs, LIU purchased a property in the town of Brookville on Long Island.
During the Covid-19 lockdowns, Long Island University moved all classes to online instruction from spring 2020 until the spring 2021 semester.[2]
