Leadership made the right call on cancellation of Saturday events – both exams and the evening commencement event. We can think of times not in the distant past when the place shut down only to have the locals complain “huh?” as the dire weather conditions never materialized.

A little communication would go a long way though. It’s presently 11:30PM, well after the late news reports closings, and nothing yet on WTOP (or similar DC area outlets) or WBAL (Baltimore area outlets). The Sun reports we’ll know about Sunday college-specific events as of an announcement at 8AM Sunday yet – it was this afternoon when the Provost sent email to the campus announcing everyone gets an invite to May proceedings instead. The place is unequivocally closed for Sunday.Yeah, locals are supposed to only check in to campus, but come on – parents and students, who may not have had instruction of the rules, are involved.

Can’t we at least be transparent about basics like this?
