In November and December of last year, a total of six arson-related fires were set around campus on four different days.
Several of the fires were inside of trash cans, while one was found inside an office in the Social Science building. Officers found a charred piece of paper inside of that office.
On Nov. 18, University Police Department (UPD) received three separate reports of fires within 30 minutes. The other three reports came in on Dec. 2, Dec. 9 and Dec 16.
All of the reports came in at night between 7:30 and 9 p.m.
None of the fires caused any injuries or property damage, other than burnt trash cans.
The UPD would not comment on any of the cases, as it is an ongoing investigation, according to Amy Armstrong, public information officer for UPD.
