Anyone know of any plans to cancel classes at UA?

At this time, classes will still be held and business will go on as usual for all three campuses. I'm an employee at UAB, and it doesn't look like they will cancel classes at any of the campuses.

Would you expect anything else. I honestly dont think UA (specifically UAB) cares about their employees. If the cancel classes they have to activate the bad weather plan for hospital employees and that would be too much money for them to spend...
