Seems legit to me

At UMBC, who beat Virginia in March Madness this year, there are service tunnels that run underground and connect the various buildings to each other. Occasionally students get to see them: when I was a chemistry major working in the department, I sometimes had to move tanks of helium, oxygen, etc. around down there.

So, one April 1, the school newspaper ran an article that homeless people were living down there and the campus police had had enough. They were rounding them up, catching them with traps, and locking them up without food until the county police came, often a couple days later, to pick them up.

In the next week's newspaper, on April 8, every person fooled by the fake story who wrote passionate, angry letters about how the homeless should be better treated were prominently printed on the front pages!
