It is not clear if the incident was deliberate and the Department of Public Safety is currently conducting an investigation, according to an email to The Herald from University Spokesperson Brian Clark.

On April 10, multiple videos circulated of an individual throwing a softball to themselves and hitting it against University Hall, breaking the window to the Provost’s Office. According to University Spokesperson Brian Clark, University staff members were present in the room when the window shattered, but there no injuries or damage occurred aside from broken glass from the window. 

Some students shared videos and images of the broken window with the @BrownUMemes Instagram account. 

“It was not immediately clear whether this was an accident or a deliberate act,” Clark wrote in an email to The Herald.  According to Clark, the Department of Public Safety is currently investigating the incident. 

In response to requests for comment, DPS and Provost Larry Larson both deferred to Clark’s comment.
