This Morning’s Incident On Campus

Today, University Police Department took into custody an unaffiliated adult who was on campus shouting anti-Asian and anti-gay slurs and verbally threatened at least one faculty member.

I want to thank the faculty, staff, students, and our University Police for their response and allyship on the scene.
