University leaders have decided that in the interest of safetyâ€â€for students, faculty, and staffâ€â€no one will be allowed into the building until the all clear is given. University Police have closed the building and are investigating. Classes scheduled at Cooper Hall for Thursday, June 21, will be held in other locations. Students with classes scheduled at Cooper Hall on Thursday should check the university’s websiteâ€â€www.usf.eduâ€â€for information on the rescheduled classes. Students can also check at the Visitors Information Center near the main entrance off of E. Fowler Avenue and at the Information booth in the Marshall Center. Cooper Hall staff reporting for work on Thursday should meet on the second floor of the library. Supervisors may institute a liberal leave policy but staff should consult with their supervisors.

Unfortunately this type of situation happens all to frequently. Hope they find whoever made the threat and prosecutes them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know how this will factor into it, but would they also be able to add reimbursement on the construction costs? They are working on Cooper almost every day, I'm assuming that is also shut down for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
