Just a reminder to all Ducks: the University of Oregon does not issue notices when classes, events and operations are on normal schedule. The UO will send notification by 6:00 a.m. on days when a schedule change is necessary because of early morning inclement weather.
Everyone please continue to use caution traveling around Eugene and the Eugene campus.
Due to staffing shortages, the Knight Library on the University of Oregon’s Eugene campus will close at midnight on February 28, 2019, instead of at 2:00 a.m. (March 1).
Living Learning Center North and South buildings both have entrances being blocked off to keep people away from possible snow falling from the roofs.
At LLC South, only the southeast entrance is open for use. At LLC North, the north entrance out of Dux Bistro is closed. Restricted doorways can only be used as emergency exits.
A reminder: pedestrians should use caution walking on campus. Many walkways are clear, but some paths and intersections still have mounded snow which can be slick. For best results, look for the cleared areas.
Also be cautious of trees and roof lines that could drop snow unexpectedly.
Respect and follow any signage or tape meant to keep people away from hazardous areas.
UO students: please connect directly with instructors and program operators on about possible weather-related changes to any classes and functions.

And please note: the UO does not send notifications when the campus is operating normally.
The Eugene Police Department issued a news release on Friday, November 16 about an armed robbery that was reported near the University of Oregon campus on Thursday evening, which was the subject of a UO Alert. The initial report gave the location of the incident as 17th Avenue and Alder Street, which is inside the university’s Clery boundary. Upon investigation, police found the incident occurred at Alder Alley, which is west and outside of the Clery boundary. This means that a Campus Crime Alert will not be issued, and the incident will not be part of the UO’s calendar year 2018 crime statistics. This is a Eugene Police investigation, and the UO will have no further information available for release.

Street Robbery at 17th Avenue/Alder Aly
Case Number 18-18228
At 9:54 p.m. on November 15, Eugene Police officers were called to E. 17th Avenue and Alder Alley after two people were robbed at gunpoint.
The victims, a woman, age 18, and a man, age 21, reported parking their vehicle on E. 17th and seeing a man across the street talking on a cell phone, who then crossed the street and stood nearby. As the victims finished unloading their car and started to walk away, the suspect called to them. When they turned around, the suspect robbed them of their purse and wallet at gunpoint and then fled on foot from the area. A Lane County Sheriff’s Office K9 responded to help with a search of the area, and officers spent almost an hour canvassing the area but did not locate the suspect.
Neither of the victims were UO students, but UOPD assisted in the response and sent out notifications to their students.
The suspect is described as a black male in his early 20s, 5’9” tall, with a heavy build. He was last seen wearing all-black clothing and a dark-colored bandana over his face.
If anyone has information in this case, they should call 541-682-5111.
