Updated — UCC Campus Reopens After Security Threat Feb. 27
Roseburg, Ore., Feb. 26, 2024 — Earlier this morning, UCC decided to close the UCC campuses immediately in response to a security threat in order to prioritize the safety of our students, staff, faculty, and community. The issue has been resolved and campus will reopen on Feb. 27, 2024.
Around 4:00 a.m. an email was delivered to several staff members email accounts threatening the security of the campus. UCC took proactive steps to notify law enforcement who immediately conducted an investigation on campus and provided additional security throughout the day. The Sheriff’s Office, with assistance from the FBI, has determined the source of the email originated from outside the country. At this time the threatening email is not considered credible, and there is no immediate threat to the college. The specifics of the security threat will not be released by the Sheriff’s Office in order to protect the integrity of the investigation.
All classes, events, and activities will reopen on Tuesday, Feb. 27.
“Thank you for everyone’s patience today. We realize this can be a disruption to classwork and impacts personal lives. Everyone’s safety is our top priority, and we are committed to taking all necessary precautions,” said UCC President, Dr. Rachel Pokrandt.
