      "verbatimText": "UPDATED at 6:42 a.m.: The UW Seattle campus has suspended operations and canceled classes Tuesday, due to continued icy conditions around the region. KC Metro buses are on snow routes and several routes are canceled completely, while road conditions remain potentially unsafe in many areas.\n\nEmployees identified by their unit as performing an essential service are required to report to work during any period of declared suspended operation. Employees in positions that are not designated as essential do not report to work when operations are suspended. These employees are covered by the pay and time off policies that apply during periods of suspended operations.\n\nTelework may be a feasible option both for employees in essential positions and for regular employees who would not normally work during a suspension of operations. Employees may telework during suspended operations so long as they have the advance written approval of their supervisor or manager.\n\nLearn more about the UW's suspended operations policy here: https://hr.uw.edu/policies/suspended-operations/\n\nThe inclement weather policy, adopted in conformance with state law, is available at http://www.washington.edu/admin/hr/polproc/susp-ops/inclement-weather.html\n\nUPDATED at 6:15 a.m.: UW Bothell has announced it is suspending operations and canceling classes Tuesday. Updates on weather-related plans at UW Bothell can be found at uwb.edu/emergency.\n\nUpdated at 7:14 a.m.: UW Tacoma has announced it is suspending operations, canceling all classes, events and activities Tuesday. Updates for the UW Tacoma campus can be found at emergency.tacoma.uw.edu.\n\nNOTE: If you don't already receive UW Alert and UW Advisory messages for important updates about emergencies or weather-related notices by text and/or email, click here to subscribe or update your settings.",
