The University of Delaware prioritizes the safety of its community members and campus. On Tuesday morning, the University received information about a reported explosive device in a building on the Newark Campus. UD Police took action immediately, responding to the area to begin investigating this reported incident, evacuating multiple buildings, and calling in support from other nearby law enforcement agencies to assist in the investigation. The result of the investigation rendered the report to be unfounded. During its investigation, UD Police learned that multiple institutions regionally and nationally received similar reports of potential safety threats.

The University is grateful to the members of our UD community for their patience and cooperation and for taking seriously this potential incident. As a reminder: If you see something, say something. UD Police encourages members of the University community to report any suspicious behavior.
