All University of Oregon evening events canceled; non-essential faculty and staff can leave at 1 p.m.

Due to updated weather forecasts, the University of Oregon has decided to cancel all evening events.  In addition, faculty and staff who reported to duty today and are not designated by their supervisors as “essential” will be allowed to leave at 1 p.m. today.  The Vivian Olum Childcare Center will close at 1 p.m. (Moss Street Childcare Center is already closed.)

Individuals are encouraged to use caution when traveling home today.

Employees who perform essential duties and who have been designated by their supervisor as “essential” are expected to work during inclement weather.  If you are unsure you fill an essential duty check with your supervisor.

Human Resources will send a memo about compensation issues related to inclement weather on Monday.

For weekend events and services, contact event coordinators or check websites and this page for updates.
