Winter Weather Advisory Jan. 6 for WIU Macomb Campus
January 5, 2025
MACOMB/MOLINE, IL - - Due to the extreme weather predicted, a weather advisory is in place for WIU's Macomb campus Monday, Jan. 6. The Quad Cities campus will remain open and operate as usual.
In general, the University will typically remain open provided campus buildings are accessible. When the University issues a weather advisory, it is ultimately the personal responsibility of faculty, staff and students to make their own decisions regarding attendance and to use their judgment concerning travel conditions. Supervisors should plan accordingly to continue operations when inclement weather is expected. University offices may be short staffed or closed due to the advisory. The WIU policy on limiting University operations because of emergency conditions is available in the Administrative Procedures Handbook. http://www.wiu.edu/policies/emergency.php
Employees working in essential positions may be required to work their regular hours on campus during a weather advisory. Essential versus nonessential employees is determined by a supervisor and depends on the nature of the advisory situation.
The weather advisory allows employees the option to use accrued vacation time, compensatory time or approved leave without pay with approval of their supervisor. An employee who has received approval from their supervisor will not be subject to discipline for being absent. Supervisors are expected to honor reasonable requests of employees to arrive late or to leave early because of inclement weather.
