We recognize that the incident reported by the University of Central Arkansas Police Department (UCAPD) this morning regarding social media postings may create heightened uncertainty and anxiety, particularly within the context of recent incidents of college campus violence across the country.
Currently, a suspect in this case is in custody. We applaud UCAPD’s prompt recognition of and response to this potential threat. Based on their assessment of the situation, we are confident that this threat has been addressed; therefore, campus is open, and university business will continue as usual.
“The safety of our students, faculty, staff and all visitors is of the utmost importance. Any threat against our campus will never be taken lightly,” said President Tom Courtway.
Again, classes and other university business will continue as usual.
