Police Investigate Online Threat to Lee University

Cleveland (WDEF) – Cleveland Police and the FBI are joining an investigation into an online threat against the Lee University campus.

The anonymous threat was posted on Yik Yak.

President Paul Conn says there is no direct evidence that it is a credible threat.

But they have notified the Cleveland Police Department and the FBI.

Uniformed officers will be on campus through the week.

And there will be additional officers at campus events like Dorm Wars tonight.

President Conn posted "We understand why people would feel uneasy about posts like this. It is part of the chaotic and often unsettling world we live in. However, based on all available information in consultation with authorities, we do not feel it is necessary to suspend normal activity at this time. We encourage everyone to continue to engage in the life of the campus as usual and hope you have a reenergizing Fall Break."
