A suspected bomb was found at UMass Amherst. Campus is closed until 11am. And that's everything anyone knows.

ETA: The school is open for business. The "bomb" was a hoax: a six-pack of beer with wires sticking out, and a note to the effect of "if you move this it will explode." More info is supposed to be in the Springfield Republican tomorrow, but UMass's keeping mum about it and what I said above is the barebones from MassLive / Springfield Republican and WWLP.
