DURHAM — University officials have announced that the Durham campus will be closed (curtailed operations, only essential personnel) Monday and Tuesday in anticipation of Hurricane Sandy's affect on the area. While weather models and forecast are still not certain, the anticipated scope and the severity of the storm that carries expectations of widespread power outages prompted a decision to err on the side of caution, the school said.
