A campus news release says a teacher spotted the bag Tuesday outside the Fine Arts Building. Around 3 p.m. officials evacuated about 400 people from that building, the Health and Sports Center and Cushing Coliseum.

Nebraska State Patrol officers sent to the campus determined by 6:30 p.m. that the bag didn’t pose a threat to public safety.
