多所历史黑人学院和大学因恐怖威胁封锁校园

摘要

美国多所历史黑人学院和大学(HBCUs)因收到针对校园的恐怖威胁,于周四实施封锁并取消课程。

周四,美国多所历史黑人学院和大学(HBCUs)收到恐怖威胁,促使校园封锁和课程取消。阿拉巴马州立大学(ASU)在收到针对其校园的威胁后,出于高度谨慎宣布关闭校园运营。该校表示:“我们正与相关执法机构密切合作,评估情况,确保我们的学生、教职员工以及更广泛的ASU社区的安全与保障。”

位于弗吉尼亚的汉普顿大学取消了周四和周五的课程、体育赛事及所有非必要活动。学校建议学生将校园内活动限制在必要范围内,指示校外学生不要前往校园,并要求包括教职员工在内的非必要人员离开校园。

弗吉尼亚州立大学周四上午发布“紧急警报”,因潜在威胁将校园置于封锁状态。其他HBCUs,包括路易斯安那州的南方大学、佐治亚州的克拉克亚特兰大大学和佛罗里达的贝瑟库克曼大学,也报告收到了威胁。

这些事件发生之际,随着新学年开始,针对美国大学的虚假紧急电话(称为“swatting”事件)有所增加。众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯呼吁司法部和联邦调查局调查这些威胁,视其为潜在的国内恐怖主义行为。联邦调查局已确认知晓针对HBCUs的恶作剧电话。
