COLUMBIA, Mo. -- The University of Missouri has announced the campus will be closed Monday and all classes will be canceled.
This is only the ninth time since the university opened in 1839 that the campus has shut down due to snow, but the fifth time in the past decade.
"With the current road conditions, we are concerned about the safety of our faculty, staff and students," Gary Ward, vice chancellor for campus operations, said an alert sent campus-wide. "Having a full campus closure will allow us to properly prepare the campus for Tuesday."
All Mizzou hospitals will remain open.
