8/24/2009 - ALERT: Campus still safe after altercation breaks out in City of Marion
Statement issued from the President’s Office: You may have heard news of an altercation at the Marion City Hall this morning... We have discussed the potential threat to the campus with state and local law enforcement and have been assured of the safety of our students.
The altercation involved two families from the community who became violent after the detention of two family members. A protest erupted at City Hall. Area law enforcement were immediately called and brought the situation under control.
The administration is satisfied that there is no threat to the students and employees of the College. We have asked the students to refrain from visiting the downtown area for 24 hours.
