MCLA Operational Status Protocol Detailed for Media Outlets
What happened
On January 1, 2026, MCLA published protocols detailing how operational decisions are made regarding campus closures or delays due to inclement weather. These decisions are made by 5 a.m. and posted on mcla.edu. The operational status is then reported to specific radio and television stations.

Why it matters
The protocol outlines the specific operational statuses—including delayed opening, closed for the day, or mid-day closing—that the stations must follow. These statuses are tied to the larger MCLA operational standards.
