LIU Closes All Campuses After Potential Threat

LONG ISLAND, NY - All of Long Island University's campus closed down Thursday after officials received word of a potential threat from the FBI.

The university posted a notice on its website that all campuses would be closed on Thursday, Aug. 8.

There are three campuses on Long Island including LIU Post in Brookville, LIU Riverhead and LIU Brentwood.

"Yesterday, the FBI advised the University of a non-specific threat that they do not deem credible," the post read. "However, the University has chosen to act with an abundance of caution in light of recent tragedies in Texas and Ohio."

The threat came in over social media, according to the Daily Voice.

The university said that all student and employee residents will still have access to their campus housing. They asked that everyone continue checking their email and mobile devices for more information.
