¹ú²úÂ鶹AV responds to bomb threat
THE FOLLOWING IS A STATEMENT FROM ¹ú²úÂ鶹AV CHIEF COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER SID SALTER:
¹ú²úÂ鶹AV received a bomb threat through the campus telephone operator late this afternoon. The call was transferred to the ¹ú²úÂ鶹AV Police Department. The ¹ú²úÂ鶹AV PD immediately began an orderly sweep of populated areas of the campus with both an explosive-detecting canine and ¹ú²úÂ鶹AV PD officers, concentrating first on residence halls and the areas where Boys State and Cheerleader Camps guests are located. At this time, ¹ú²úÂ鶹AV believes that our campus buildings have been inspected and are secured. We are working with our partners in the Boys State and Cheerleader Camp programs to ensure their safety and to coordinate the continuation of their use of our campus.
As a matter of policy, we take all such threats seriously and govern our response accordingly. The university will not release additional details, as this threat remains an ongoing investigation.
