Lillis Complex to be closed Monday, May 7th due to bomb threat

I just recieved the following email desribing a precautionary closure of the Lillis Business Complex:

Over the weekend, the University of Oregon learned of a bomb threat made against the Lillis Business Complex. Upon receiving the threat, the UO Department of Public Safety immediately contacted the Eugene Police Department and locked down the complex. Law enforcement experts then conducted a sweep of the facilities. No explosive device was found. While UO and law enforcement officials do not believe the threat is credible, the decision has been made to close the buildings on Monday, May 7, 2007 as a precaution. As a result, all classes, activities and other business scheduled in the Lillis
Business Complex have been cancelled on Monday. The complex will reopen on Tuesday, May 8 at 7 a.m.

President, University of Oregon

Hm. Any coincidence that this one was called in around midterms?
