UConn is sending its non-essential employees home at 2 p.m. on Tuesday due to the weather.
Officials said due to the slick roads and difficult travel conditions, non-essential employees are excused starting at 2 p.m., except at UConn Health.
"UConn students finished final exams at Storrs and the regional campuses last week, so the student and faculty population was already very low this week," a school spokesperson said in a release.
Essential employees in public safety and facilities maintenance are not affected by the early dismissal, authorities added.
