Re: Campus Closure, December 1999 - January 2000
Since 1991, the UCSC campus has been closed during the holiday season. This year
the campus will be closed during the period from December 24, 1999 (Friday) through
January 2, 2000 (Sunday--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, associate 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 Friday, December 10. Senior administrative officers are requested to forward
approved exceptions to Physical Plant Director Jim Hagler via campus mail or fax
(x9-5121) to arrive no later than Monday, December 13 (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
13, a detailed list of exceptions to the campus closure will appear in Currents Online
<http://www.ucsc.edu/currents> in the Administrative Messages section.
If you have questions or would like further information on the campus closure, please
call Director Hagler (x2238) on facilities-related matters or your service center's
human resources coordinator on human resources policy issues. You may also access
Y2K information by visiting the website <y2k.ucsc.edu> or by calling 459-INFO.
Please check for updates on the status related to any potential service interruptions
that might be experienced as a result of any Y2K-related issues.
Sincerely,
Thomas Vani
Vice Chancellor
Business and Administrative Services
