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.

** Faculty and staff who choose to come in late or leave early need to use leave as set forth in applicable collective bargaining agreements or university policy. If faculty and staff cannot safety get to work they should contact supervisors.
