Northern Illinois U. Closed After Threat

Filed in archive News by Greg Cruey on December 11, 2007

Officials at Northern Illinois University closed the campus yesterday while police investigated washroom graffiti on campus that referred to the Virginia Tech massacre.

The Chicago Tribune reported the incident. According to the report, two different messages were found on campus Saturday. The threats included a racial slur.

One blog source is now reporting that black students on campus "fear for their safety" because of the racial threats.

While the racial threats alone would have probably been sufficient to close the DeKalb County campus, icy weather also contributed to the decision. Final exams will have to be rescheduled because of the cancellation.
