Crews working across campus to clear snow, address storm issues
Provost asks faculty to accommodate students who are delayed
• A message to faculty and staff regarding winter weather.
• Questions regarding the impact of the snow and cold on the Ann Arbor campus can be emailed to dos@umich.edu.
Note: This story has been updated with the following statement from Provost Martha Pollack:
“The University of Michigan-Ann Arbor winter term classes begin Wednesday, Jan. 8. In light of the severe weather, I have asked faculty to accommodate students who cannot return to campus for their first class meetings. This means students will not be dropped from a class they are unable to attend, and will be given any necessary class material when they return to campus.”
Following this weekend’s winter storm, university employees are working hard to address any hazardous conditions on campus. Classes resume Wednesday.
Roads, parking lots and pedestrian walkways have been cleared of snow and any building conditions due to low temperatures have been addressed.
Snow crews started working the highest-priority regions and then moved on to general service areas.
All university buses are running scheduled routes, though some may be delayed. Parking officials advised all campus commuters to bundle up and check bus arrival times before heading out to the bus shelters.
Dropping temperatures and blowing snow conditions will be monitored by Plant Operations, and staff will address any potential building issues as they become aware of them.
