The incident at Israel Fest remains under active investigation by the university. The university does not typically share details during an ongoing investigation. However, we want to reassure members of our community that the vials that were dropped were commonly available "stink bombs" and did not pose a serious health risk to those nearby. While our ability to provide additional information at this time is limited, we will continue to keep the community informed as appropriate and in accordance with university policies and applicable laws.
