Re: Campus Closure, December 2000 - January 2001
Since 1991, the UCSC campus has been closed during the holiday season. This year
the campus will be closed during the period from December 23, 2000 (Saturday) through
January 1, 2001 (Monday)--ten days total.
This closure will be handled much as it was in previous years, with some housing
areas and other buildings remaining open. Laboratory buildings will be partially
operational due to the special needs of researchers and scientists, and some campus
units' work schedules may require staffing during all or part of the closure. Fire,
police, and environmental health and safety services will be provided to the campus
community during this period, along with necessary utilities and other essential
services.
The vice chancellors and assistant chancellors have authority to approve exceptions
to this closure. For units or areas which need to remain open or staffed during part
or all of the closure, unit heads are asked to send their requests for exception
to the appropriate senior administrative officer no later than Wednesday, November
22. Senior administrative officers are requested to forward approved exceptions to
Physical Plant Director Jim Hagler via campus mail or fax (9-5121) to arrive no later
than Wednesday, November 29 (8:00 AM). This will ensure that the open areas will
receive heat and other necessary services during this period when most faculty, staff,
and students are on vacation.
During the week of December 11, a detailed list of exceptions to the campus closure
will appear in Currents Online in the
Messages section. If you have questions or would like further information on the
campus closure, please call Director Hagler (9-2238) on facilities-related matters
or your service center's human resources coordinator on human resources policy issues.
