  • Inclement Weather Policy
    Policy Title: Inclement Weather Policy #: PRE-FA-002 Responsible Office: VP for Finance and Administration Responsible President’s Office Administrator: Revisions Made? Date Reviewed: August 2014 Yes ___ No_X_ Date of Next Review: August 2019 PURPOSE The purpose of this policy is to inform university employees about how and when decisions will be made to open/close campus in the event severe weather conditions require a decision to close campus or delay classes or other operations. AUDIENCE WOU faculty, staff, and students DEFINITIONS Campus Closed: Campus is closed for business and classes cancelled. Campus Open/Classes Cancelled: Campus will remain open because conditions in Monmouth are minimally impacted by weather conditions while conditions in commuter areas are more severe. Essential Employee: Employees designated by position description to report to work in the event of campus closure to maintain minimum levels of service. Essential employee names must be on file in the Human Resources Office. Opening Delayed: Campus will be opened for business/classes after a brief delay. This is generally when reports suggest that conditions will improve within a brief period of time. POLICY STATEMENT It is the policy of Western Oregon University to remain open unless it is determined that safety is compromised by adverse conditions or lack of utility services. In certain circumstances, essential facilities such as the Library, University Center, University Residences, Valsetz Dining Hall, Computer Lab, and the Health and Wellness Center will be open even though classes are cancelled. If the campus remains open but faculty are unable to hold classes due to their inability to travel to Monmouth, they will notify the office of their division chair.

Panel Reviewing the Impact of Hurricane Katrina on Communications Networks (EB Docket 06-119) Dear Ms. Dortch: On September 1, 2015, the undersigned President of the National Association of Black Owned Broadcasters, Inc. ("NABOB") along with Francisco Montero of Fletcher, Heald & Hildreth, PLC, and David Honig, President Emeritus and Senior Advisor, Multicultural Media, Telecommunications and Internet Council ("MMTC") met with Commissioner Ajit Pai and Alison Nemeth, Legal Advisor, to discuss the most important and effective proposal set forth in the AM Revitalization Notice: opening an application filing window for FM translators that would be limited to AM broadcast licensees. As the Commission recognized in the Notice, the best way to help the largest number of AM stations to quickly and efficiently improve their service is to open such an AM-only window. Any other approach will make it extremely difficult, if not impossible, for AM stations, to obtain the translators they urgently need to remain competitive and provide our communities with the service they deserve.
