If UM Curators approve the increases, tuition could spike as much as 7.5 percent at the Columbia campus.

The University of Missouri announced this morning a full closure of the Columbia campus beginning at noon today, in anticipation of rain followed quickly by a drop to freezing temperatures today. 

The school says only employees who are situationally critical should report to work. All MU Health Care hospitals will stay open, and the Veterinary Health Center and Equine Center, will remain open for emergencies. 

Late yesterday afternoon Columbia Public Schools announced it will close two and a half hours early today.
