Harvard Business School Evacuated After Bomb Threat

The timing is especially odd, considering school is no longer in session

Cambridge Police SWAT team members arrive at Harvard Yard following a bomb threat that was made on campus on November 16, 2015 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Multiple buildings were evacuated and the Harvard Yard was shut down so that authorities could search.

The following buildings have been evacuated:

Morgan Hall, Esteves Hall, Aldrich Hall, Chao Center, Tata Hall, Hawes Hall and Batten Hall.

Students were notified of the threat by an email from Steven Catalano, Special Advisor to the Chief of Police, and member of the Harvard University Police Department.

This most recent threat follows another threat in November of last year, which was made on the Harvard University campus. After a lengthy investigation no perpetrators were found.

The Business School is located roughly half a mile away from the College, and is separated by the Charles River.

The timing of this threat is especially odd considering that the school is no longer in session, as the semester ended over one week ago. First year students are, however, in finals and commencement begins in a week.
