Provost statement on national disasters

This statement is being issued in response to this morning’s events:

As many of you are aware, a series of horrific explosions have taken place today in New York and Washington, D.C. In order to protect the public safety, certain key governmental offices in Madison and other cities have been closed, in addition to all national airports. At present, there is no reason to believe that there is any threat to the university community. Classes will continue as scheduled, and all offices will remain open. Should any change be required, we will make public announcements immediately.

Gary Sandefur
Interim Provost
