Policies Under Review: Temporary Emergency Closing and International Business Travel

Two Policies are open for community comment through July 31, 2022:

• Temporary Emergency Closing of the University —This Policy has been updated to reflect the following changes: 
  • In the event of severe weather or other emergencies, the Emergency Preparedness and Response Team will assess the situation and provide recommendations to university leadership as to whether the university can continue normal operations; if normal operations including in-person classes, meetings, events and student activities should be conducted remotely; or if normal operations should be suspended.
  • Instead of staff members taking PTO if they are unable to come to campus to work, they can work with their supervisor to carry out their work responsibilities or make other alternative arrangements.
• International Business Travel Policy— Traveling internationally on university business has certain inherent risks. The purpose of this policy is to provide information and processes to support informed decision-making for individuals who travel internationally on university business. This includes, but is not limited to, complying with all export control regulations and information security policies, using the university's preferred travel service provider(s) and registering international travel through International SOS.
