No Credible Threat Detected At UW-P

UW-Platteville officials said Tuesday afternoon that there was nothing to indicate imminent harm to the campus following what had been characterized as an alleged social media threat. In a message to the campus community, interim Chancellor Tammy Evetovich said that officials immediately addressed the incident once they learned about it, though the investigation continuously changed and evolved over the last 36 hours, sometimes at a very rapid pace. An online announcement made shortly before 9:30 p.m. Monday stated that school officials were aware of a threat to the main campus and specifically Doudna Hall. University police, the dean of students and the Behavioral Review and Recommendation Team were among those addressing the situation to determine if the threat was credible. Classes were held as scheduled Tuesday.
