Thankfully, the university took the bomb threats it received last week and over the weekend seriously – even if they were received via e-mail.

A serious bomb threat, for instance, is something that would be much more convincing in a voicemail.

The fact that these threats were e-mailed tells us something about the senders – mainly that they aren’t serious.

Their goal is simply to disrupt the university, a goal that they have achieved.

And it’s a worthwhile goal, of course, to get buildings closed and classes canceled. It’s much easier to do with a bomb threat than with prayers for a snow day.

Yet the man arrested last week wasn’t a student. So what was his motivation?

We figure he must be a part of a large underground crime ring, and that this crime ring is also responsible for the threats sent to other campuses around the country. This group must be composed of people disgusted by the higher education system or maybe they’re a disgruntled bunch of former Boy Scouts.

Whoever it is, we think they should stop using e-mail if they ever want to achieve anything more than just the closing of a few school buildings.
