I'm with you on this.  If the weather was bad enough that it was unsafe 
for most people to drive to work, they should call a snow day and give a 
day off to everyone.  Otherwise, they should have a normal work day.  I 
also think they are putting themselves in an awkward position legally. 
What if a worker is in a bad accident and sues the University?  I think 
they'd have a case because the University is admitting that driving to 
work may be dangerous but they are requiring that employees drive in 
anyway.
