MtA closes after “concerning message” found on campus

Mount Allison University closed yesterday after a “concerning message” was found on campus that included references to February 11. The university chose to close “out of an abundance of caution,” and all classes and on-campus activities were cancelled. Scheduled midterms have been deferred and will take place during the next scheduled class. Residences and the Jennings Dining Hall remained accessible. In addition to closing for the day, the university increased its campus patrols and security presence.
