INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY
When weather conditions render surface transportation hazardous, the Dean of the Medical School may declare a weather emergency. A declared weather emergency has the effect of establishing a holiday routine in the Health Sciences Center. It cancels classes, closes nonessential offices, and reduces staffing to the level necessary to support essential operations in the School and Hospital. The decision to declare such an emergency rests solely with the Dean or his designated representative. Local radio and television stations will be informed if the Dean declares a weather emergency. Class officers will be informed through the President of the Student Executive Council (who confirms the action with the Dean for Student Affairs). The class officers communicate this information to all members of their class..
