Email Threat at Clemson University Under Investigation

Wednesday morning, the Clemson University Police Department (CUPD) was made aware of a message received on a university email account that referenced possible explosives. An immediate response and investigation were initiated, and law enforcement has no information that supports a specific and credible threat at this time.

CUPD reached out to the State Law Enforcement Division’s Fusion Center and investigators were advised that approximately 225 other institutions have received the same or similar email over several months.

CUPD continues to take the appropriate steps to investigate any and all threats and reminds the community to report any suspicious communication to law enforcement immediately.
