From the desk of the editor: Keep our online, offline communities safe

An anonymous user on The Badger Herald’s website posted a comment threatening the safety of “those in power and and those with perceived power” Tuesday morning. Although we have no means of verifying if there was real intent behind their words, I would like to remind our readers that the comment boards are meant to be a respectful and constructive space, and all comments alluding to illegal or dangerous activities will be reported to the proper authorities.

The comment was removed by a staff member who promptly notified a university official. The official then contacted the University of Wisconsin Police Department and Division of Student Life. We were able to track the IP address to a location just east of Vilas Park.

If you have any further information, contact UWPD at 608-264-COPS or Associate Dean Kevin Helmkamp at 608-263-5700. If you see further suspicious comments on the Herald website, please send me an email at [email protected].
