ATHENS, Ohio -- Following an investigation by the Ohio University Police Department, the student suspects who allegedly threatened other students via Ohio University's "graffiti wall" on April 10 have been identified and referred to University Judiciaries.

The investigation concluded that no criminal offenses were committed, and, consequently, no charges will be filed. The findings were turned over to University Judiciaries to explore if the conduct violated the university's Code of Conduct. If it is determined the Code of Conduct may have been violated, individuals will be formally referred, and their behavior will be evaluated according to standard university judicial procedures. Sanctions for violations of the Code of Conduct range from reprimand to expulsion.

It is the university's policy to not reveal names of students with cases pending before or proceeding through Judiciaries.

"Because of the threats of violence against individuals, we took this incident very seriously," Dean of Students Terry Hogan said. "For Ohio University to achieve its mission, we must provide an environment that allows all students the opportunity to study, work and live together in a safe environment. We will continue to use all means to achieve this goal."

Ohio University Police Chief Stephen Ramirez said, "We investigated for possible menacing violations, but the elements of the case don't meet that standard under the Ohio Revised Code."
