Across all three campuses, University of Louisville staff phones displayed a warning message that alerted staff and faculty to evacuate buildings immediately. The message came late afternoon Feb. 7.
A RAVE alert was sent out to students and staff at 4:36 p.m. informing them of the false alarm.
“U of L phone systems experienced a malfunction,” the RAVE alert read, “Please disregard any notice about immediate evacuation.”
John Karman, director of media relations for U of L, said normally the type of message U of L phones displayed only appears during emergency situations.
