VI. Policy Statement<\/h3>\n

During inclement weather, the safety of employees, students, and visitors is paramount and the University must maintain continuous and effective business operations. With due consideration to inclement weather conditions, the University will remain open and operate normally to the greatest extent possible. Employees, students, and visitors should evaluate their own circumstances carefully, exercise appropriate judgment, and take responsibility for their own safety when making decisions related to the University during inclement weather.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This policy may be used for other closures, delays or reduction in service not related to weather.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

VII. Definitions<\/h2>\n

Closure<\/h3>\n

The University will not be opened for non-critical business during the day or be closed before the end of the regular workday.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Delay<\/h3>\n

Opening the University and beginning classes\/labs and\/or University business, will commence at a later time than regularly-scheduled start times. A Delay will be communicated to the University community in a Delay Announcement.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Reduced Operations<\/h3>\n

Remote Operations\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Current conditions may not pose severe safety risks or logistical challenges, but an event has significant potential to negatively affect \u2013 or already is affecting \u2013 local area commuting, important campus services, or the efficient functioning of campus buildings and grounds.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
