Announcements December 2000 Announcements Weather Emergencies . . . The advent of winter, with ice, snow and frigid temperatures, can present significant challenges. Designated personnel are required to report in the event of a declared weather emergency. Absences of designated personnel during a weather emergency are without pay, but are not charged to an employee's lost-time rate under the attendance policy. Nondesignated personnel, while expected to make every effort to report as scheduled, may use a vacation or personal day if transportation or other weather-related problems result in lost time during a weather emergency.
Students can also obtain weather-emergency information from the hotline.
The dean of each academic division will decide about class cancellation. Scheduled classes for MD and PhD students will take place regardless of weather conditions. Anyone with questions about the policy may contact the Office of Employee Relations at 3-7758. If you've always wanted to give modeling a try, here's your chance.
