Say what?

That's what thousands of students, faculty and staff members at University of Florida thought to themselves when they got the message through the school's emergency-alert text message system.

reports that university officials believe the message was sent by the former employee of the vendor the school uses for the emergency alert service.

The article says this is the first incident they have heard of where a campus emergency-alert system was wrongly used.

"It raises a concern for us that a former employee was able to still access the system," Stephen F. Orlando, a spokesman for the university told The Chronicle. "Clearly that's an issue that needs to be addressed and fixed."
