Slippery Rock University officials have received a bomb threat this morning affecting campus that is suspected to be a swatting attempt. University Police are assessing the situation and they immediately reported the threat to federal agencies.
- As an abundance of caution, and to following the University standard procedures, SRU is currently conducting a thorough search and sweep of all campus buildings and grounds.
- Once that safety protocol is complete, the University will alert the campus again through email with an “all clear” message or, if the threat is deemed credible, activate the RockAlerts emergency notification system with further instruction.
- The University is notifying faculty, staff and students as quickly as possible with this email so that you are aware of the increased presence of police in campus buildings.
- Your safety is our top priority. Any students who do not feel safe until the investigation is resolved, should contact their professor regarding their class attendance. Resident students who choose not to remain in their rooms can also consult a list of buildings below. Any employees who do not feel safe until the investigation is resolved should contact their manager.
- The following buildings have been cleared. This list will be updated on the University website until the sweep is completed and the all-clear message is delivered.
- All buildings cleared
Next step: The University will follow up with further communication this afternoon as more information becomes available.
