Winter weather information

     When snow and ice storms arrive in the Delaware Valley,
University employees and students should listen to local radio
stations for news of late openings, early closings or cancellations at
the University. Channel 2 on the UDTV cable system also will carry any
weather-related announcements.
     Those individuals who miss radio announcements can call 831-2000
to receive weather-related information. In addition, early closing
information will be presented to the campus community in system
announcements on MVS and UNIX e-mail. Each department also will be
contacted by Employee Services using a telephone tree.
     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, Facilities Management, Housing
and Conference Services, Student Health Services, Public Safety and
Information Technologies.  For more information on the extreme weather
policy, employees should contact their supervisors.
