Following a threat on Yik Yak, an anonymous platform used by college students, officials at Washington & Jefferson College say law enforcement from Washington, East Washington, South Strabane, and State Police have sent or will be sending officers to campus and there will continue to be a police presence at large events and gathering times. School officials say they are taking the threat seriously and are aggressively investigating the post, including specifically the identity of the individual who posted the threat. Officials say Yik Yak has received a Magistrate-approved warrant to submit information on the individual and the school is exercising its internal systems to uncover this person’s identity as well. They say they will take action immediately when the perpetrator is known. Officials say that because this person is affiliated with W&J, and because the campus is integrated into downtown and residential Washington, they do not have a way to keep the perpetrator from entering campus, but will take steps to enhance safety on campus. Between now and end-of-business Friday, faculty who wish to do so, are encouraged to move their classes online; staff who wish to work remotely may do so with their supervisor’s permission; students may choose not to attend in-person classes or activities, but should they choose to do so they must inform faculty in advance. Officials say they hope to resume all in-person activity on Monday.
