Dear Editor: The University of Wisconsin endangers the lives of students, faculty, staff and Madison residents when it refuses to close its doors during inclement weather. One didn’t have to be a meteorologist to predict Wednesday morning that the snow would not let up, but would continue to fall, sometimes heavily, throughout the day.
We are proving nothing more than our foolishness by attempting to conduct “business as usual” in such conditions. Risking life and limb to conduct such business should not be expected or encouraged.
Frances Ellsworth, Madison
