University closings are jointly decided
The decision to close school due to snow is a joint one
made by the chancellor's office with information gathered
by the weather service, grounds department, student or
ganizations and the city, according to Richard L. Fleming,
assistant to UNL Chancellor Roy Young and director of
information.
"If the snow starts in the morning and gets progres
sively worse past noon, we may close in the afternoon. We
get in touch with the statehouse and try to juggle closing
times to avoid excessive traffic at one time," Fleming
said.
Closings are based on the level of difficulty of getting
around the city, he added.
"We will go with forecasts in the evening, get up early
in the morning and check the new forecasts, condition of
the streets, and check with the grounds department to

see about lots. We aim to have a decision about closing
by 6 a.m., and urge staff and students to tunc in the
radio," Fleming said.
According to Fleming, if the commuter lots arc clean,
school is likely to stay open, since a large portion of stu
dents live just a few blocks off campus and can make it
to classes.
Because the snow subsided Sunday after Thanksgiving
break the decision to have classes was made by 6 p.m.
Sunday, even though many students were stranded
because of icy road conditions.
"Judgment was that if a student was out 100 to 200
miles and didn't feel they should drive, it was an individu
al decision they had to make, considering the conditions
where they were," Fleming said.
As soon as a decision to close school is made, the news
media will be notified and cancellation announcements
will be made.
