University faculty member receives concerning email
University Police met with a faculty member working in the Theater and Interpretation Center, 1949 Campus Dr., in response to an email the person received Sunday.
The faculty member told UP that he received an email, which UP Deputy Chief Dan McAleer said raised concerns. The person recognized the name of the email sender and recalled that he may have spoken with him several years ago when the man requested a tour of the building, but he said he is not completely sure. After UP contacted the sender, the man understood why the email had caused concerns and promised that he would not attempt to contact the faculty member again. The faculty member was pleased with the result, McAleer said.
