UW Tacoma operations suspended Thursday, Dec. 30

UW Tacoma is suspending campus operations today, Thursday, Dec. 30.

Overnight snowfall exacerbated by a shortage of staff and lack of vendor availability to conduct snow removal operations mean campus conditions remain unsafe.

When operations are suspended, most campus facilities are closed, and non-essential personnel do not report to campus locations for in-person work. With approval from supervisors, non-essential personnel may work remotely. More information about UW suspended operations policy is available here.

Because this week is winter break, there are no classes or events scheduled.
