Colleagues: Pls see the alert notice from the Provost. Pls comply
immediately. Pls ask all students to remain in the NWC and SEC until such
time as we get further information from the Provost.

------- Forwarded message follows -------
Priority: Urgent


Deans, Directors, and Chairs,

Immediately take action to keep all individuals within their current buildings
into further notice.

Uh....is everyone paranoid now or what? I'm at home today, but I'm really curious about why they're freaking out.



UPDATE: Here's a new email, but it doesn't really tell me anything. I wouldn't worry too much about the National Weather Center. The security is already majorly beefed up there because we have federal NOAA offices in the building. You can't get past the security desk at the front door without a badge (although they're kind of lazy about checking it).

Colleagues: I have had a confirming telephone call from the Provost.

As a precaution, we are adjusting the one-card locks on the exterior doors
so that one can gain entry only via the card swipe. Pls retain visitors in your
areas until further notice.

Faculty: Pls retain students in classrooms.

John

Copycat?

Keep us posted...and stay home!

Nah, the guy under suspicion called into the police after he recognized his own description and said he was carrying an umbrella, not a weapon.

Yes.. please keep us posted and be safe

Maybe they're trying to prevent any more students from talking to the press?

Glad you're safe. *HUGE HUGS*

I'm half a country away from what happened yesterday, though. All the college campuses around the country are just on edge right now and are being more sensitive than usual. I have no reason to feel unsafe here.

Ah! I misunderstood the post. I thought those were the emails you'd received. So many of my LJ friends are in college right now I have trouble remembering who is where. But I should remember where you go especially after the recent tornado chasing posts! Silly me.
