LEXINGTON, Ky. (Jan. 25, 2021) — Below is a message from Eric N. Monday, University of Kentucky executive vice president for finance and administration. Dear Students, It is important that all UK students, faculty and staff are familiar with the university's policy and procedures for dealing with severe weather conditions. Your safety is important to the university. This winter, the changes that COVID-19 has made in regard to how instruction is delivered to you are also resulting in changes to how we react to inclement weather. While our goal is to always keep campus fully operational and sustain our critical missions of education, research, service and patient care, there are rare occasions when we must alter our normal schedule due to severe weather.
