Common use of CLOSURE POLICY Clause in Contracts

CLOSURE POLICY. 34.§1 The University recognizes that, due to severe weather, physical damage, or other emergency conditions, it may become necessary to close the University except for essential services. Therefore, procedures have been established to affect such closings. 34. §1.1 The decision to close all or part of the University for reasons of weather, building conditions, or disruptive actions, will be made only by the president or his/her designee. The president’s office and the University Department of Human Resources will be the coordinating offices for handling details and questions dealing with this closure policy. 34.§1.2 In cases of complete or near complete shutdown, local news media will be used under normal circumstances for notification purposes. If only selective operations are involved, or if the closing occurs after the beginning of the work day, each of any affected departments will be individually notified. The lack of specific notification to the contrary should be interpreted to mean that normal operations are to be maintained. 34.§1.3 If there is any doubt that the University will be in operation, a message will be available on WMUK, WWMT, and WIDR, and other area news media. The WMU Closure and Emergency Hotline (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ and WMU website (▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇) are also resources to use to determine if WMU is closed. The WMU Emergency Alert System also sends closure notifications by phone call, text, or email to employees who sign up at the GoWMU page.
