UT delays UT Alert test to 3 p.m.
In light of the incident that happened at BGSU this morning that caused them to implement their emergency alert system, UT is going to push back today’s UT Alert test to 3 p.m.
UT sent an e-mail to the campus this morning reading:
UT delays UT Alert test until 3 p.m. today
In light of an implementation of Bowling Green State University’s alert system this morning due to an incident on that campus, and due to inaccurate media reports incorrectly linking the BGSU incident to UT, The University of Toledo is delaying the test of its UT Alert test originally scheduled for 9 a.m. this morning to 3 p.m. this afternoon in order to avoid any confusion or miscommunication.
