University closing, delay procedures

In the event severe weather conditions threaten to disrupt class and/or administrative office schedules, the primary concern will be the safety and welfare of the students, faculty and staff. In such situations, the following procedure will be initiated:

The vice president for administration (or designee) will contact the Pennsylvania State Police and/or Pennsylvania Department of Transportation to ascertain the condition of roads accessing Bloomsburg University. In addition, the vice president will confer with the director of physical plant to evaluate potential difficulties in keeping campus roads and parking areas cleared throughout the day.

The vice president may confer with other members of the cabinet to develop a recommendation for the president on the status of classes/administrative offices. If severe weather conditions exist prior to the start of the class/administrative office schedule, a decision will be made by 5:15 a.m.

The president may invoke one of the following three options: The highlighted copy is how the message will be stated in news announcements.

Bloomsburg University, Compressed Classes at 10 A.M./Liberal Leave. If the classes and/or administrative office day have yet to begin, the compressed class schedule will be put into effect. Essential employees must report at the regular time, unless otherwise directed by their supervisor. All staff employees must report on time or utilize liberal leave.

Bloomsburg University, Classes Canceled/Liberal Leave. This decision will be made prior to or during the class and/or administrative office schedule. If the class schedule has begun, classes may be curtailed for the remainder of the day at a designated hour including evening classes. Essential employees must remain and/or report, unless otherwise directed by their supervisor, and all offices are open. All staff employees must report on time, remain at work or utilize *liberal leave.

Bloomsburg University, Closed. In extreme weather conditions the university will be closed. Essential employees must remain and/or report, unless otherwise directed by their supervisor. Other employees are not required to take leave.

Following the president's decision, the vice president will immediately inform the director of media relations who will use the appropriate outlets to disseminate the information.

Cabinet members will initiate methods in place (phone trees, etc.) to inform the employees under their direction. Updates will be issued if the weather affects more than one class/administrative office day.
