    that doesn't sound good

    "get away as far as possible" ... that part sounds fishy to me though. You would think it would say something a little more formal. i hope the site wasn't hacked.

    Doesn't make sense to flee the entire campus. May be an error

    As of 10:45 not all buildings had been checked, though the deadline had passed based on the phoned-in threat. I suggest you go to statesman.com for updates.

    And FWIW, why, when the University has an alarm system, and a sleeping student is awakened by the sirens and reads the Tweet from the University's warning system, why, why, does a student feel compelled to comment that 'they didn't give us much information'.

    When the warning system you wanted and subscribe to tells you to get the hell out, shouldn't you GET THE HELL OUT and then ask questions?

    Jeesh.

    Just saw read about this, you're all in my thoughts and prayers. I can't even put it to words how awful this makes me feel, how worried I am for everyone.

    I hope your campus and everyone connected with it are all safe.

    The person or persons responsible for this need to be caught, and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. No matter the intent, this is no prank. The university acted entirely correctly...you can't hesitate to clear the campus because, as we've seen all too often, there are individuals, and groups, with the desire to meet God, or Allah, or the supreme being by any other name, and take as many others with them as possible.

    Hyde Park's campuses are in close proximity to the UT main campus and to the JJ Pickle Center, so I'm guessing that was the reason without really knowing anything.
