A message from FSU President Jonathan Gibralter: I want to issue a clarification in response to questions from parents, students and others regarding the message about the anonymous, vague threat about which police have learned. Police must evaluate the credibility of threats on a regular basis. Our police agency and those agencies working in cooperation with us give this particular threat little credibility. This is for a variety of reasons, including that it was not declared to be specific to FSU. However, we decided that it was still important for the campus community to be aware and forewarned. For those of you not familiar with this app, this article explains some of its features and what makes it unusual and troublesome. chicagonow/tween-us/2014/03/yik-yak-app-parents-need-to-know/ This story details some of the issues Yik Yak posts have created elsewhere: newyork.cbslocal/2014/03/11/seen-at-11-yik-yak-anonymous-texting-app-stirs-up-controversy/ In consultation with the Provost and SGA president, we offer the following message: While we do not want to allow our campus to be held hostage to anonymous, vague threats, if you feel your personal safety is at risk, you are encouraged to exercise your personal judgment about being present on campus for the remainder of the day. Jonathan Gibralter, President Frostburg State University
