Assumption College, a catholic liberal arts school in the
Boston suburb of Worcester, received the threat and decided to
evacuate the campus as a precaution just before midnight local
time, the school said in a statement.
Roughly 1,900 students live on campus, said college spokesman
Michael Guilfoyle, adding that busses would transport students
to the nearby Worcester Polytechnic Institute.
Students were returning from the Columbus Day holiday and
classes scheduled for tomorrow have been canceled, Guilfoyle
said. Local and state law enforcement are investigating.
