Two white men were arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of making threats on social media against black people, two days after the University of Missouri's president and chancellor stepped down amid protests over their handling of reports of racial abuse.
Tension was still high on the main Columbia campus, where there was a greater-than-usual police presence. Several students leaving the area said they felt unsafe.
Police arrested Hunter Park in Rolla, Missouri, which is about 95 miles (150 km) south of Columbia, at about 1:50 a.m. local time (0750 GMT). Early Wednesday afternoon, police also arrested Connor Stottlemyre, 19. Both made threats on "Yik Yak," a social media site, officials said.
