No Major Damage to Campuses, But Reopening Delayed to Allow
Orderly Return of Area Evacuees
HOUSTON, Sept. 24, 2005 – The University of Houston, the
University of Houston-Clear Lake and the University of Houston-Downtown
will reopen and resume classes Thursday (Sept. 29). The teaching
centers at Cinco Ranch and at Sugar Land also will reopen at that
time.
The University of Houston-Victoria reopens Tuesday (Sept. 27).
None of these UH System institutions suffered significant damage
from Hurricane Rita. These dates were selected to accommodate the
recommendation of public officials that businesses and schools delay
opening to allow the safe and orderly return of all those who evacuated
the area.
Staff members at the institutions reopening Thursday are requested
to return to work at noon, Wednesday, Sept. 28, if possible.
Students in residence at the University of Houston may not return
to their campus housing before 5 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 28.
