Saturday morning classes and events canceled

The University of Oregon has canceled classes and events for Saturday morning, Feb. 8.

While campus is typically less active on weekends, it is home for 4,000 students and employees are responsible for supporting a world class research enterprise.   The UO’s Eugene campus remains operational and employees are expected to report to regular duties to support campus activities beyond canceled classes and events.

It is understood that not everyone will be able to travel to campus due to the continuing inclement weather. Members of the campus community are expected to use their best judgment in assessing the risk of coming to campus and returning home, based on individual circumstances. Those who believe that the road conditions from their homes are dangerous are urged and even expected to remain home.
