My university is closed today because of snow. I work in the financial aid office. I heard people in the office yesterday saying that we always have to go to work. Today, it was announced that all university offices will be closed, and that only "essential staff" should report to work. Who are "essential staff" and does that include me?
Thanks!

essential staff people at core level needed to operate a business or institute.

Cooler temperatures mean winter is here. Unfortunately, winter brings the threat of hazardous driving conditions due to snow and ice. When weather conditions pose a significant threat to the safety of students, faculty and staff members who commute to campus, UNT's offices will close.
If you are considered to be "essential staff" and the university is closing, check with your supervisor about whether to come to work.Several UNT departments have calling trees to notify their staff about university closures.

I would say that essential staff is the people that maintain heating systems and roads, people that feed the dorm kids, etc. I would not say that you are essential staff. I'm sure that essential staff know who they are.
