    This is the best link I can find but apparently the entire University of Texas campus in Austin is being evacuated due to a bomb threat.

    Yep, yep. We got evacuated at UT, and they're checking all of the buildings right now.

    According to CNN, the Texas caller had claimed to be with Al Qaeda.

    Well, no bombs on campus. The threat was either an Al Qaeda scare or somebody had an exam they didn't study for.

    The Austin PD should investigate every UT student enrolled in 10 am classes that have exams scheduled for today.

    Last NDSU update I see is from 40 minutes ago, says employees/students were required to leave campus by 10:15 a.m.

    It's a Friday during football season and they play an SEC team tomorrow (even if it is just Ole Miss). Probably not more than a few dozen students on campus to begin with.
