The email - which contains NSFW language - was sent in response to a school-wide message about law school help desk hours, and appears to come from an account named "Fordham." It reads [edits ours], "F- campus security. My d- tastes better than that n- falsification."

Here's an edited screenshot of the email:

Additionally, the school sent out an apology message - with the subject "Inappropriate Message to Law Community" - which reads: "At 2:29 this morning, an inappropriate email was sent to all Law School faculty, staff and students. We're working with the University's IT group to investigate the matter and take steps to secure the School's email broadcast lists."
