The University of Missouri campus and UM System will shift to remote operations from 12:01 a.m. through 11:59 p.m. Monday, Feb. 15, due to winter weather conditions. All classes will be held remotely. Instructors should communicate this shift with their students as soon as possible, explain what the plan for their class is and provide any necessary resources, such as Zoom links or online learning materials. If a class has significant in-person requirements, such as laboratories or clinical classes, those requirements will be made up later in the semester. Staff fall into one of three categories when a shift to remote work and learning takes place: - Those who aren't required to work on-site and will telework from home or another location. Staff who do not telework must take paid time off - either personal or vacation days. - Those who cannot carry out their duties through telework and who are instructed that they are not required on-site to work will be compensated. - Those who are non-exempt (hourly) and are required to work on-site may be eligible to receive premium pay; those who are required to work on-site and choose not to must take paid time off - either personal or vacation days. For information on how winter weather is affecting any off-campus activities, including clinics, off-campus meetings or conferences, please refer to the host location. Staff should contact their supervisor if they are unsure which category they fit. As always, faculty, staff and students are expected to exercise good judgement when deciding if they can travel safely to campus during inclement weather. Links to university services, including those offered by MU Health Care hospitals and clinics and the Veterinary Health Center, are listed online. Details about MU's campus closure policies and more can be found here.

Message elements

How the first alert is built

To check this alert, Claude Opus 5 (an AI) read it in full 25 separate times, independently. Each read decided whether the message answers each of the six questions and gave a short reason. A final reviewer then weighed all 25 and wrote the plain-English verdict you see when you open a row. The score (for example 22/25) is how many reads agreed; the 25 individual reads are tucked underneath if you want to check them.

    Final assessment

    Present, 25 of 25. The opening line names "The University of Missouri campus and UM System" as the body shifting to remote operations, so the issuing institution is stated outright.

    Who is sending the alert and who is responding. People act faster on a message from a clearly identifiable, credible sender, such as a named department, the police, or a branded alert system, than on an anonymous notice. A branded signature counts.

  • Hazardpresent25/25

    Final assessment

    Present, 25 of 25. The shift is attributed "due to winter weather conditions", naming a weather hazard rather than leaving the cause vague.

    What the threat actually is. A complete warning names the specific danger, such as a shooter, a fire, a tornado, or a gas leak, rather than a vague emergency, because people decide what to do based on what they are facing.

  • Locationpresent25/25

    Final assessment

    Present, 25 of 25. The notice scopes the change to "The University of Missouri campus and UM System" and separately addresses "off-campus activities", so the affected place is given.

    Where the threat is. Saying whether danger is in a specific building, a part of campus, or area-wide lets people judge their own proximity and choose a safe direction. Without a where, a warning is hard to act on precisely.

  • Guidancepresent25/25

    Final assessment

    Present, 25 of 25. It directs that "All classes will be held remotely" and tells people to "exercise good judgement when deciding if they can travel safely to campus".

    The protective action to take. A clear, specific instruction, such as shelter in place, evacuate, avoid the area, or run-hide-fight, drives faster and more correct protective behavior than describing the threat alone.

  • Impactabsent0/25

    Final assessment

    Absent, 0 of 25. Past the bare phrase "winter weather conditions" nothing says what the weather could do to people or property; the body covers only pay categories and class make-ups.

    What the hazard could do to the people in its path. Beyond naming the threat, a complete warning conveys its potential consequences or severity, such as that a tornado can level buildings or that a leak could be explosive, so recipients grasp how much danger they are in. Research on warning message content finds that a concrete impact statement helps people personalize their risk and act sooner.
