The decision to close is made by the president. University Hospital will remain open and staff will report for duty as usual during such closures. Other departments that provide critical services, such as Public Safety, will provide necessary staffing. U of U employees, except those who are part-time or temporary hourly, will receive normal pay for the closure hours. Closures are governed by Policy 1-14.
Most students face dangerous road conditions every day.
The University should declare it a snow day if there is enough new powder on the slopes. I always have to skip class, and it would be a lot easier if there were more snow days. I live in Kaysville, so I get the opportunity to drive with nut cases every day, but when it snows it just gets worse. When I got to work I found that a collegue of mine spent almost three hours in traffic to get here. I think that the University should be more mindful of how many people have to commute to school.
