Mount Allison University will remain closed for the rest of the week in the wake of a “concerning message” found on campus on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a statement issued late Tuesday afternoon, the university’s vice president of finance and administration Robert Inglis, said the message referenced Feb. 11, 2026, prompting the school to make the decision to close the campus Wednesday \u201cout of an abundance of caution.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a follow-up statement issued Wednesday, Inglis said the university will also close Thursday and Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“While there is no indication of an ongoing threat, we recognize that this has been a stressful time for many members of our community,” Inglis stated. “Closing campus for the remainder of the week will allow time for our community to pause and reset before resuming normal operations.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The university said RCMP were notified as soon as the message was found. It has also increased patrols and security presence on campus as of Wednesday.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All academic classes, both in-person and online, are cancelled February 12 and February 13, with operations occurring\u00a0remotely except for essential services continuing on campus.\u00a0\u00a0Information regarding any required assignments, assessments or mid-term tests make up days will be shared by faculty with their classes once re-scheduling has been confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Student residences will remain open and dining services will continue to operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With Monday, Feb. 16 being a holiday and the university’s winter break to follow, classes won’t resume again until February 23. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
