The Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB) received a bomb threat Monday, according to an email sent to business school students Monday morning.
No threats were ultimately identified by police, the email said. Bernadette DeRafael and Lee Redmon of the GSB Risk Team, who sent the email, noted that the Stanford University Department of Public Safety (SUDPS) investigated the situation and inspected GSB buildings as part of the investigation.
According to SUDPS spokesman Bill Larson, the bomb threat was received by a “reporting party” around 9:30 a.m. Monday. SUDPS and GSB security officers responded immediately, conducting a thorough search of the GSB buildings, Larson wrote.
The search did not turn up “any suspicious or suspicious items related to the threat,” Larson wrote.
At this time, the incident is under active investigation, according to the email from DeRafae and Redmon, who encouraged GSB students to report any unusual activity to the GSB Security Team at (408) 731-0282.
No AlertSU notification was sent about the threat as “it was determined that there was no imminent or ongoing threat to the campus community,” Larson wrote.
Larson would not comment on whether the identity of the reporting party was known or how they would proceed with the investigation.
