Threatening emails sent to campus

UPDATE 11:21 a.m.

The University of Washington Police Deparment continues to investigate the email threats, but there is no safety concern. The FBI has also advised that the email is not a credible threat.

UWPD is aware of and investigating threatening emails sent to individuals on campus.

The email appears to be a generic spam email that has been sent to other organizations around the country.

If you receive such an email, notify Campus Safety at 425-352-5222.
