EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION: Remote Operations
To ensure the safety of our students, faculty and staff, the University will be open under REMOTE operations for Tuesday, December 16.
Remote operations addresses the winter travel hazards we are facing while permitting important work that must be accomplished to be done before the holiday break.
Employees should speak with their supervisors if they have questions about their remote
work responsibilities.
Some personnel necessary to the operation of the University — including many who work
in the Physical Plant, Dining Services, the Falcon Center, and the Police Department
— are considered essential employees and are expected to report to campus. If it is
unsafe to do so, please consult your supervisor.
The University anticipates returning to regular operations on Wednesday, December 17. Any additional weather updates will be communicated through our emergency alert system, social media, and the University website.
Note that due to this weather system, we anticipate closure of the top deck of the parking garage for the next few days. (This location accounts for a significant portion of winter slip, trip, and fall injuries on campus. To support the integrity of the structure, salt or other ice melting agents cannot be used. Structural deterioration from de-icers can lead to major repairs costing hundreds of thousands of dollars.) The University will alert motorists via large yellow signs posted at the traffic circle, near Turley Center, and at the top of the hill.
