  Someone called up MSU's Information Technology Department, housed on the fifth and sixth floors of University Hall, around 10:40 a.m. on Dec. 6 and told a secretary that a bomb was ticking at an unspecified location in the building, said Ann Frechette, an MSU spokesperson.
  
  Without giving further details, such as when the bomb might detonate, the caller abruptly hung up, and the secretary alerted university police.
  
  It was the campus's first bomb threat since before Sept. 11, 2001.Prior to the terrorist attacks, institutions of higher learning across the country commonly had bomb scares, especially as final exams approached.
  
  "Exam time is exceedingly stressful for people," noted Frechette."I could only guess that people [after 9/11] realized the seriousness of these kinds of threats, and they just haven't done it."
  
  After investigators checked the evacuation routes to make sure no suspicious objects had been left along them, responders activated the fire alarms and several hundred students and faculty members cleared out in the middle of class, said Frechette.
  
  Police then set up a perimeter around the seven-story building and cordoned it off with yellow tape while they looked for the explosive device.Bomb-detecting K-9 units from the Passaic County Sheriff's Department, and the Passaic County Prosecutor's Office Counter-Terrorism Unit, were called in.
  
  In addition to classrooms, lecture halls and the IT department, the building has a conference room on the top floor that's used both by organizations inside and outside the university.
  
  Investigators searched the building for over two hours and uncovered no bomb, said Frechette.
  
  Officers stationed at the building's entryways gave faculty and staff the go-ahead to reenter at 1:45 p.m., and students were to be allowed back in at 2:15 that afternoon so they could get to their 2:30 p.m. classes.
  
  Frechette said by phone Friday that the case was still under investigation, and that police had released few details to her about the caller, including what the individual's gender was and whether he or she was suspected of being a student at MSU.
  
  She was also not certain if the call had been made from a pay phone, cell phone or a landline.

  "Certainly our hope is we've caught this in time," Ann Frechette, a Montclair State University spokeswoman, told The Star-Ledger of Newark for Saturday newspapers.
  
  Information technology staff at the university became aware of the problem after an undergraduate student notified them that he has stumbled upon the information while making an Internet search on Google.
  
  "He just happened to stumble over it," Frechette said."Fortunately, he was quick to alert our IT department."
  
  The files with the information were removed Oct. 7.The state Attorney General's Office was also contacted so that they could request that Google and other Internet search engines clear out their caches and erase any remaining links to the information.
  
  Frechette said there were no more links remaining by Wednesday evening.
