A report of two suspicious individuals at nearby Boulder High School early Thursday morning prompted the University of Colorado to temporarily close 19 buildings and notify key personnel in the affected buildings of a heightened alert status on campus.
Because CU public safety officials do not believe there is an immediate threat to the CU-Boulder campus community, final exams, move-out and graduation-related events are proceeding as scheduled on the campus and extra security measures have been taken. As in normal circumstances, participants in these activities are urged to report any suspicious persons or behavior to the CU Police Department by calling (303) 492-6666 or, in an emergency, 911.
The University will continue to closely monitor this situation and provide updates as needed. A message to the CU community is available on CU-Boulder's information line at (303) 492-5500, and updates to that line will be provided as needed throughout the day.
For more information, contact Bronson Hilliard, spokesperson, at (303) 735-6183.
