Campus closed all day due to heavy snowfall

The campus will be closed all day today, following heavy snowfall Tuesday night. The University's Emergency Preparedness Web site announced the closure at about 10:30 a.m.

Last night's snow "has created unsafe travel conditions," according the site.

In addition, Monroe County has declared a state emergency. Only emergency and public safety vehicles are allowed to travel.

Roads, including Indiana State Road 37, continue to be slick, said  Indiana State Police spokesman Sgt. Curt Durnil. Although he said there were no reports of snow-related injuries Wednesday morning, officers are patrolling slick roads to assist stranded drivers.

Campus bus routes including the A, B and E lines will operate a normal weekday schedule. However, both the D and X routes have been suspended until Thursday, according to a Campus Bus Service news release. 

It is reported that more than nine inches of snow, sleet and ice have blanketed the region.
