Any changes to funding offers due to COVID-19?

With many universities moving to online class format, are there people out there who are funded with a TAship that find themselves affected by this?

Are you still TAing, but now virtually?

For people who currently have no classes, did the department reduce your stipend?

 

For incoming 2020 students, have any universities contacted you to change the terms of your offer (rescind a TA offer)?

Our offers and funding at least for this semester remains unaffected. TAs have somewhat different responsibilities now (e.g., monitor/set up zooms; online exams; etc.).

I do not expect any chances to my offers for fall - seems like university is more likely to sacrifice the undergrad TA positions at this point if anything gets sacrificed (exams still need to be graded, office hours are online now, etc.), although it is somewhat speculating. I'm TAing one semester, the other semester I'm on an RA position.
