SXU reopening hinges on advice from law enforcement

Officials of a Catholic liberal arts college are consulting with law enforcement officials as they decide when to reopen.

St. Xavier University shut down indefinitely last week after threatening graffiti were found scrawled in the bathroom of a freshman dorm.

University spokesman Joe Moore tells The Associated Press that students will be informed of a decision through e-mails, phone text messages and a special school Web site. The site is update.sxu.edu.

Moore says officials are hoping to open as soon as possible.

Graffiti were found twice this month, including a message that reads -- quote -- "Be prepared to die on 4/14."

The school closed down campuses in Chicago and Orland Park.
