SMU, you have many students that commute from different cities, towns around Texas. You also have many students who have no power. Please reconsider and close the campus.Until the roads are safe to drive on, this petition will be one that voices the concern of students, faculty and staff who are against the SMU resuming operations this Monday, December 9th.

I can't count the number of times I nearly slid and fell while walking slowly, and that was without carrying anything. It would be extremely inconvenient and time consuming to have to tip-toe from class to class tomorrow. I'd be better off just studying indoors. For the commuters, I can only imagine the drive making it exponentially worse

Ice sheets falling from buildings. Trees still falling. Ice still all over the ground. And it' super foggy. How is class a good idea?

I live on campus, but many of my friends have to drive a significant distance to make it to school. While I wish the picture was not a dead squirrel, I do want my friends to be safe without risking academic consequences.

I commute everyday to go to SMU, I live in Flower Mound and it usually takes me 45 minutes to get to school. I have tried driving on the roads near my house but it is still not safe. Please if you could have some consideration for those of us that would have to expose our lives to go to class. Thank you!

I'm from Houston and have never driven in anything but rain. Tomorrow morning I attempt the drive from Plano. Please reconsider having classes for the sake of commuters, faculty and students alike.

Because of your dorm situation our children are being put out on the streets and forced to drive as sophomores. Some of our children drive far. Close the school already. Wise up. Everyone else is.
