This is what the RUG stated via Twitter this morning. Students and employees are urged to stay home.

As of this morning, a KNMI code red is in effect for the northern part of the country. Black ice has caused all roads to become extremely slippery. Arriva buses are not running, and many trains have been cancelled as well. Hanze University is closed all day. The school will have buildings open to receive students and employees. The UB also announced they were closed this morning: ‘The UB, too, is closed until further notice today.’ As of 12, students were inside the library hitting the books.

Ook de UB is vandaag tot nader order gesloten!
