Snow days on campus add up for students

LAWRENCE GDP $3.672 BILLION (2012)
ABOUT $10 MILLION PER DAY.
While most businesses were open again on Wednesday, many closed early on Tuesday, meaning productivity of the city was negatively affected.

About 14 inches of snow accumulation on 9,500 acres of the University campus in Lawrence.
Students lose $20.50 worth of instruction per credit hour. If you are taking 15 credits, you're losing about $123.
15 credits/5 = 3 (average amount of class hours per day)
3 hours x 2 days = 6 credit hours
6 credit hours x $20.50 = $123
*Credit calculated per week; i.e. one credit hour class meets one time per week. Therefore $307.50 cost per credit divided by the number of weeks in the semester (15).
How many students on campus?
There are 27,939 students enrolled at the University of Kansas.
If each student lost $123,
$3,436,497 would have been lost.
How much would the total cost be for the student population?
About 427 people worked on clearing snow on campus on the two snow days and after, to total approximately 1,000 hours and counting.
427 workers
$12,000 - $14,000
The University spent $12,000 to $14,000 on road sand and magnesium chloride.
"We think that it's a worthwhile investment to make sure the campus is safe and operational for the students that's the key thing,the students and faculty."

Jimmy John's (Oread location) Manager Matt Willis
"We saw an increase in sales. Normally we do around $1,600. Both on Tuesday and Wednesday we saw about $2,500."
Burger Stand Bar Manager Beau Bruns
Burger Stand Bar Manager Beau Bruns "Usually we have our video game tournaments on Tuesday night and we were planning to have a Mario Kart tournament, but that had to be canceled so that definitely hurt not doing that, closing at 4 p.m. But Wednesday was super busy. It was more busy than normal Wednesdays, but it wasn't astronomical by any means."
Kieu's — Head Manager Jessica Bricker
"On Tuesday, we were opened normal hours at 10, but we ended up closing at one. Our main concern was the safety of our employees. We wanted to make sure they could go home safely. We did close down early since it was snowing so much. On Wednesday we were open normal business hours and we did see a decent flow of traffic. We thought it was because girls were getting cabin fever, they wanted to get out, grab some coffee, hang out with their girlfriends, so we did have decent traffic flow all day."

"With that considerable amount of snow and cold, people aren't going to get out and pretty much everything was closed downtown. It was a significant decrease, probably a 50 percent decrease in sales."
