It's official:
The University of Miami's Coral Gables and Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science campuses will be closed for classes on both Thursday and Friday, September 2 and 3.
Only essential employees are required to report to work at the Coral Gables and Rosenstiel School campuses.
And I am not an “essential employee”. So I don't have to come in. But I'm on leave, so I don't have to come in anyway. Wait, there's more…
All academic buildings must be vacated by noon on Thursday. All non-essential buildings will be closed and secured at noon on Thursday.
Translation: If I come in they may kick me out of my office?
A decision on the UM-FSU football game, currently scheduled for Monday, September 6, is expected to be made on Thursday.
If they cancel a football game, then you know it's really serious. Update: They postponed it.
The following Coral Gables campus facilities will be open on Thursday until 5 p.m.:
* Food Court (and all Residential College Dining Rooms)
* Richter Library
* University Bookstore
* Student Health Center
* Wellness Center
* University Center
* Starbucks
I guess the people at Starbucks are essential employees.
Not just a football game! If they cancel the UM-FSU football game, it starts moving into the realm of truly catastrophic.
(From the one person who graduated from FSU without seeing a single football game, ever.)
