She told the instructor she was not feeling well while in the water, and complained of dizziness and blurred vision before paramedics arrived.

A student was found disassembling his BB gun at a bench on East Campus.

The student was reportedly unaware that bringing a fake firearm to campus violated the student conduct policy. He stated to security that he was only fixing it.

Security informed the student that his actions were dangerous because people could assume it was a real gun and police may perceive hims as a deadly threat.
