Bomb threat at York

Hundreds of students briefly evacuated
By Maclean's

Between 400 and 500 York University students writing exams on Sunday were evacuated after a bomb threat. The students were rushed out of Curtis Lecture Halls at 11am, but police ruled the building safe and students were allowed to return at 12:20pm. It was the second time in a week that York’s exam schedule was disrupted. Last Monday, a fire that knocked out the power caused the university to cancel exams until Wednesday.
