Snow Blizzards and CCC’s Conflicting Messages


             Snow Blizzards and CCC’s Conflicting Messages
Truman informed students, faculty and staff that school will close effective Tuesday, Feb.1, at 2:00 p.m. following a blizzard warning from the National Weather Service.
An e-mail from the City Colleges of Chicago’s (CCC) Chancellor Cheryl Hyman has confirmed “full closure of all of the seven City Colleges campuses and all their associated satellites,” from Tuesday evening through Wednesday and that “Classes will resume their regular schedules Thursday, Feb. 3 unless otherwise noted.”
Students were relieved from a previous day confusion that sent conflicting messages between the CCC district office and Truman College. Calls originating from CCC headquarters on Monday informed many students that their campus will close starting Tuesday morning. However, Interim President Lynn Walker cleared the misinformation by passing fliers to various offices with instructions that the college will be open on Tuesday until new decisions could come forth.
