Marshall, TX — Following continued communication and coordination with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies, Wiley University announces that the campus lockdown issued earlier today will be lifted at 12:00 PM (noon), with a full return to normal campus operations on Friday, January 23, 2026.
Earlier today, the University temporarily suspended campus activities after receiving a threat via email.
