Although a second device of similar construction was found elsewhere on campus, the threat was neutralized; Northeastern resumed normal academic activities the next day. The following month, federal prosecutors determined that Jason Duhaime, the Northeastern employee who claimed to be the sole witness of the explosion and was seemingly injured by it, had concocted the event as a hoax. Duhaime was subsequently charged with a fine of $250,000 and a five year in prison sentence. He was also fired from his position within the university.
In May 2024 it was announced that Marymount Manhattan College would merge with Northeastern University, which was to be renamed Northeastern University-New York City. The merger would not be finalized until it received regulatory approval, which could take up to two years.
