FACULTY & STAFF: The university will be operating on Condition 1 (Reduced Operations) beginning at 5 p.m. Thursday, through 10 a.m. Friday morning. Under Condition 1, the university remains open, but certain non-mandatory operations may be reduced due to more limited staffing. Mandatory employees must report to or remain at work.
