University of Georgia weather-related decisions are complex and involve many factors. The primary question we ask is, “Can we open and operate the institution in accordance with the University’s mission in a manner that is sensitive to the safety and well-being of the members of our university community?” When the snowstorm hit Athens on Sunday afternoon, a decision was made to close school on Monday after consultation with public safety and Physical Plant officials and climatology experts in Athens.
