Security discovered three small, broken windows in portable classrooms West Campus Room 3 and West Campus Room 4. The broken windows appeared to be an act of pure vandalism, as nothing was reported stolen. Two days later on April 20, an additional broken window was discovered in a first floor classroom in the Interdisciplinary Center. Security believes the same people broke these windows. There was no entry or theft with either incident. No suspects have been reported thus far.
