Learn about snow closings by listening to local stations

     When the weather outside is frightful with winter storms of
snow and ice, University employees and students should listen to
local radio stations for news of late openings, early closings or
cancellations at the University.
     Members of the campus community are asked not to call the
Department of Public Safety so that telephone lines can remain open
for emergency calls.
     According to Maxine Colm, vice president for employee
relations, the University's policy is to remain open whenever
possible during extreme weather conditions. If no formal
announcement of closing, late opening or early dismissal is made,
employees who decide for personal reasons not to report or to leave
early must take vacation time or leave without pay.
     Employees in essential positions are required to report to
work during extreme weather conditions. These employees will be
designated by their directors in Dining Services, Plant Operations,
Housing and Residence Life, Student Health Services, Public Safety,
the Morris Library and Computing and Network Services.
     For more information on the extreme weather policy, employees
should contact their supervisors.
     Radio stations in the Newark vicinity that are advised of
emergency closing bulletins by the University include WXDR, WILM,
WSTW, WJBR, WSER, WNRK, WDEL and WAMS.
     In southern Delaware, the following radio stations are
notified: WDOV, WKEN, WYUS, WSFD, , WSBY, WRKE, WWTR, WSEA, WSFD
and WGMD.
