Overall I think:
- the campus should stay open if the campus area itself is travelable, but close if it’s reasonably certain it won’t be
- I think it should stay open if the question is students who might have travel difficulties from other areas
- I think professors should make an effort to be understanding of students whose travel plans get messed up by weather
- At the same time, I don’t think they (we) should change the class plans for that day. Any day of the semester, someone’s liable to be absent, and need to find out what is missed. That’s just part of being a student. (I think having a major test scheduled for that day would be bad planning, tbh).

Sympathetic prof who needs to provide for the students who are here, and make allowances for the students who can’t be.
