A pretty moving announcement on the website of the American University of Beirut. Note the final sentence:
Classes and Work at the American University of Beirut
The American University of Beirut will resume classes as soon as conditions permit. The University will, as of that point, make arrangements to complete the second semester and help students make up for missed work. Medical students are expected to attend to their duties throughout.

Dear Henry:
Sadly, that was not the last line of the announcement. Had it been, it would have demonstrated that AUB's priorities were focused on taking care of the community.
These were the last lines of the announcement:
"Regular full-time employees and workers at AUB are expected to attend to their duties as normally scheduled. As on previous similar occasions, any day of absence will be charged towards days of regular vacation to be deducted from the employee's earned annual leave."
A much different ending :)!
