Though turmoil erupted at several college campuses today following a string of bomb threats, Baylor University officials say Baylor’s campus is secure.
Lori Fogleman, director of media communications, said Friday that emergency protocols are being followed.
Dr. Bill Powers, president of the University of Texas at Austin, justified the university’s decision to hold the evacuation ten minutes before the bomb was set to explode in a noon press conference on Friday.
