MCLA Cancels Classes for Monday

At first glance, the GSD Staff thought this was an odd one, but the more we thought about it, it does make sense.

MCLA--yes, MCLA--is the first school to cancel classes for Monday.

It's a little strange given that there's only one or two more weeks left in the fall semester for most colleges and class time is very precious at this late stage in the game. And travel on Monday will be no picnic either, which means many students will miss classes on Tuesday. But with all the disruption to people's travel plans on Sunday and the really terrible forecast for Monday, it does appear to be a rational decision by the college to keep students off the roads.

So, MCLA has no classes, which suggests that many high school and elementary school students will have no school on Monday as well.

We'll do an official delay and cancellation list--hopefully--starting Sunday night.

[Update 9:15 PM: An edict has clearly come from on high as Westfield State and Mount Holyoke have also cancelled classes for Monday.]
