Falcon Health Center and the Counseling Center will operate on their normal schedule. Campus shuttles will maintain full service.
Employees should report to work, if they can safely do so.
The university also issued the following “reminder” to faculty and staff:
“The University has chosen to cancel classes and remain open because we have an obligation to continue to provide services to our students and the public to the best of our ability. Of particular concern during a weather emergency is supporting the 6,000 residential students on our BG campus.
“At the same time, please know that your safety is also paramount. As always, use your own judgment about whether you can safely travel to the University.
“If you’re unable to make it to work, you may utilize vacation, personal leave or compensatory time (if applicable), or leave without pay (with supervisor’s approval). If you won’t be reporting for work, please be sure to notify your supervisor.”
