POLICY

It is the policy of the University to maintain its teaching, public service, and operational activities in accordance with established schedules. To this end, the suspension or cancellation of classes or the temporary suspension of campus operations will be avoided whenever possible.

The University is an adult community.  Contrary to elementary or secondary schools, the University does not abandon its operations to prevent small children from potential travel or weather hazards.  Students, faculty, and all staff are urged, however, to use discretion and judgment not to endanger individual safety.  In the event of an emergency, one should weigh the risks of travel to and from the place of study or work carefully, utilizing the best available public news disclosures or phone calls to University offices able to be open.

Should the entire community come under a state of emergency, the University will follow stated emergency procedures.

The Vice President for Business and Finance is responsible for developing operating procedures to implement this policy.
