9.15 Campus Closure Due to Weather or Safety Considerations
The President or his designee shall authorize the closure of campus facilities when weather or safety considerations necessitate this action. Closure of the campus will be announced by supervisory personnel and/or local media, whichever is deemed appropriate. During these periods, only designated emergency personnel should be on campus.
Official University time records for the period the campus is closed should be completed as follows:
Personnel scheduled to work (excluding work-study personnel) shall be granted Administrative Leave for the period of the closure.
Work-study personnel cannot be granted Administrative Leave because of Federal Regulations governing the Work-Study Program.
Employees on duty (on campus) shall be granted compensatory time at a later date unless overtime payment is approved by the Vice President for Business Affairs.
Employees on approved leave (vacation, sick, compensatory) during these periods shall not be granted administrative time in lieu thereof.
Specific questions regarding official University time records should be referred to the Office of Human Resources.
This policy is to protect employees from loss of income when they are unable to perform their duties because the campus is inaccessible or unsafe.
