Bomb threats on college campuses are law violations with serious repercussions
|
EL PASO – First UT Austin, then Texas A&M, North Dakota State, Texas A&M again, Texas State, and now UTEP. What do all these schools have in common? They are just a few of the universities in this country that were prompted to evacuate due to bomb threats. On March 26, nearly 20,000 faculty, staff, and students evacuated UTEP’s buildings after being alerted by campus police of a real threat on campus. After receiving a text from the campus police, I calmly gathered my belongings and made my way to the nearest exit, not really panicking.
