About 100 students gathered at the Cathedral of Learning to host a “die-in” following Pitt’s delay in sending emergency alerts during a recent hoax shooter incident on campus.
It took Pitt more than an hour to send an ENS alert after police evacuated Hillman library Monday for a hoax active shooter. Pitt police chief James Loftus said he “regrets” not sending an ENS alert out sooner.
The Pitt News Editorial Board argues that despite reports of an active shooter in Hillman Library being proven “unfounded,” the fear students felt was very real, and Pitt’s lack of communication during the incident is unacceptable.
There’s no evidence of an active shooter on Pitt’s campus after police evacuated Hillman Library around 11:15 pm.
Pitt’s policies for on-campus demonstrations were once again put to the test on March 24 as hundreds of students, faculty and community members rallied against a series of “anti-trans” speakers coming to campus.
