UPDATE: UI issues a second Vandal Alert, explaining the reasoning behind yesterday’s controversial Vandal Alert regarding Denise Bennett. Staben also issued the same information via a campus-wide email.
“Ms. Bennett’s public conduct in recent days and information we received from law enforcement raised concerns about the safety of our campus community,” Staben wrote. “Knowledge that students would gather at noon in the Administration Building to protest the university’s actions and uncertainty around Ms. Bennett’s whereabouts or whether she would attend the protest increased the seriousness of these concerns to a level which gave rise to the alert.”
Staben said in the email Journalism and Mass Media classes will continue as usual and other JAMM faculty will be teaching Bennett’s classes in her absence.
