What is the inclement weather policy?
The inclement weather policy allows staff to come to work at KU one hour later or leave one hour earlier if there is a weather alert. Sometimes staff will be sent home if there is a weather emergency. Canceling classes is a separate issue from the inclement weather policy. Students may not have class but staff might still be expected to come to work. Call KU Info at (785) 864-3506 or (785) 864-SNOW for the latest information on the inclement weather policy for that day.

Supreme Court justice to teach several classes at law school
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas arrived yesterday afternoon in Lawrence for his fourth visit to the University of Kansas.
Thomas will teach today and tomorrow at the University's School of Law.
Thomas made public appearances during his visits in 2002, 2000 and 1996, but no events for his fourth visit to campus will be open to the public.
Thomas will teach five constitutional law classes and a criminal procedure class to students. He will also teach a class to first-year law students.
Thomas spoils students because he's so down-to-earth and patient, Stephen McAllister, dean of law, said. Thomas will stay for about 30 minutes after class and just visit with students. He'll take pictures and sign autographs and whatever the students want to do, McAllister said.
The Stephenson Lectures in Law & Government Fund supported Thomas' trip to the University.

Justice Stephen G. Breyer and Antonin Scalia visited the University in 2001. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg is expected to visit the campus in March 2005.
Politics gets a little tastier today in the Kansas Union
The Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics is serving up a more calorie-friendly diet at noon today in the Centennial Room, on the sixth floor of the Kansas Union. Instead of pizza and beer, it's pizza and politics.
Pizza and Politics is a bipartisan series offered by the Dole Institute that features guest lecturers and free pizza.
Morgan, Lawrence resident and owner of Morgan Quitno Press, 512 E. Ninth St., lived in Washington for quite some time, Lacy said. Morgan served as chief council for one of former Sen. Bob Dole's campaigns.
The theme for this week's session is Tales from the Trail: Campaign & Political Experiences. Scott Morgan and John Bush will be the guest speakers.
Morgan said he had a different view to give students because he had served on the local, state and federal levels.
Bush, owner of Lawrence Realty Associates, 4321 W. Sixth St., has been involved with several political campaigns and will talk with students about what it's like to be behind the scenes, Lacy said. Every night, people see candidates looking good on television, Lacy said. Bush is one of the guys who helps make them look good, he said. .
One of the goals of the Institute is to try to get people to look beyond television and newspapers and understand the reasons why political events are happening the way they are, Lacy said.
Retired teacher donates $3.5 million to University
Stephanie Farley
Lavon Brosseau, a retired English teacher, has given $500,000 for a School of Education scholarship and committed about $3 million for the University to come later.
Brosseau, who now lives in Concordia, taught English for 29 years. She taught in public schools in Atwood, Concordia and Coffeeyville and for an additional nine years at Cloud County Community College in Concordia. She retired from teaching in 1978. She said she thought education was the key to every kid's future.
"I want to see the money invested so that scholarships will be available to kids perpetually," Brosseau said. "Students long after I'm gone will benefit from it."
The $500,000 gift established the Jack and Lavon Brosseau Scholars Fund for Teacher Education Students, named for Brosseau and her late husband, according to University Relations. The fund will provide scholarships for students admitted to the teacher education program who have a 3.0 grade point average or higher.
The remaining $3 million was pledged through estate plans the couple created in 1994 and will include support for the University and addition al funds for the education scholarship
Brosseau said she was good friends with Chancellor Robert Hemenway.
Jeff Weinberg, assistant to the chanceller, and Angela Lumpkin, former dean of education.
Even though Lumpkin is no longer the dean of the school, Brosseau said it did not affect her decision to give money to the School of Education.
Brosseau graduated from Kansas State University with a degree in education and earned a master's degree in English literature from Pittsburg State University in 1971.
