The Oxford campus of the University of Mississippi will be closed through Sunday, Feb. 1, the university said in a REBALERT posted on its Facebook page. The university cited continued extreme winter weather conditions and ongoing recovery efforts as the reasons for the closure.
The announcement covers the university’s flagship campus in Oxford, Mississippi, and will affect campus operations while the closure remains in place, the post said. University officials did not provide additional details about specific campus services or a timeline for reopening in the brief notice.
The University of Mississippi is the state’s public research university and serves a large student population in Oxford. Closures for extreme weather can disrupt classes, research activities, campus events and local services, and can complicate travel and recovery work for students, faculty and staff.
We will provide more information as it becomes available.
