A. CAMPUS-WIDE EMERGENCY
In case of a campus-wide emergency, the official
closing of the University is declared by the
President in consultation with the Vice Presidents.
Such closings are communicated to various radio
and television stations for general broadcast.
To avoid inter-school or department discrepancies
which create pay inequities, individual deans
and department heads will not cancel classes
or close a department or school.
In extreme weather conditions or if an emergency
condition exists, classes will be cancelled
and the University will be closed. Only emergency
personnel will be required to report for work.
In such cases, the following will apply:
B. DEPARTMENT OR SECTION CLOSING
When, because of a power outage, alterations,
or for other reasons, a department or section
of the University is closed, employees unable
to work due to this condition, will continue
to be paid only if they accept temporary assignments
in other areas within their division or elsewhere
in the University. The decision to compensate
employees who are unable to work elsewhere in
the University is to be made by the appropriate
Vice President or President.
C. UNION REPRESENTED EMPLOYEES
Employees covered by a collective bargaining
agreement will be governed by the terms of that
agreement and, unless determined otherwise in
emergency situations by the Vice President for
Management and Business, will report to work
as usual.
