Multiple Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) locked down their campuses and canceled classes Thursday after receiving unspecified threats.
HBCUs have previously been targets of violent threats, leading to a federal investigation. In 2022, the FBI launched an investigation into a nationwide series of bomb threats at HBCUs as racially or ethnically motivated violent extremism and hate crimes.
At least six HBCUs received potential threats.
Virginia State University ordered students and staff to remain indoors and canceled afternoon classes. The university said campus police, along with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies, are investigating the credibility of the threat.
Dr. Makola M. Abdullah, president of Viriginia State University, said the threat received by the university and several other HBCUs was meant to "disrupt, intimidate, and instill fear in our community."
"Let us be clear: these threats are not random," Abdullah said in a letter to the campus community. They are targeted attacks on institutions that have long stood as pillars of excellence, empowerment, and progress. HBCUs exist because we refused to be denied an education—and we thrive because we continue to rise in the face of adversity."
Abdullah continued, "To those who seek to silence or scare us: we will not be intimidated. For over a century, Virginia State University and other HBCUs have stood as a beacon of knowledge, excellence, and resilience. Today's events only reaffirm our commitment to providing a safe and empowering environment for our students, faculty, and staff. The greatest revenge is to get an education. Every step you take forward, every class you attend, and every degree you earn is an act of resistance and triumph."
He said the university remains in close coordination with law enforcement, and enhanced security will remain in place.

Fake. BS. Self-made threats. Surprised they didn’t say the threats included, “This is MAGA country!”
Now the US Naval Academy is in lockdown.
Naval Academy was on lock down earlier this evening, so was Stockton University in South Jersey.
Give me sympathy campaigns designed as threats.
JMO, YMMV
In 2022. Kma Newsweek marxists.
Fake
Exactly. They fanned the flames of racism and political radicalism for years. Now they are using the old tactics of staging fake “hate crimes” to distract and deflect attention.
What, Abdullah wasn’t getting enough attention to day? It was going to a nice Christian white family man with one wife.
These will stop when the hoaxers are jailed for a minimum of 10 years. If they are real, same punishment.
Dr. Makola M. Abdullah, president of Viriginia State University,
Couldn’t find an American for the job? Ah. They’re probably up in Yellowstone tickling the buffalo.
How does this work? We build the schools. They fill them up with foreign students and then we let foreigners run them. Sounds like we’re getting the shaft if you ask me. These countries need to build their own colleges and keep the kids at home.
Trump has done more for HBCUs than any other President. Racist morons.
That’s exactly the point.
The Deep State is trying to divert attention away from a real social crisis by making up threats against HBCUs.
Sounds like a normal day at VSU. A friend's kid got a band scholarship there and had to transfer to another school because she couldn't get any work done due to her roommates and everyone around her never going to classes and always partying.
In 2022 the FBI concluded that fifty seven separate bomb threats to historically black universities were made by....
wait for it...
one unnamed minor.
