The university’s public safety department said that it coordinated with the District’s police to search the building using several methods, including bomb-detecting animals and machines. Students were evacuated to safe areas pending an all-clear order from the police department. This is the second bomb threat against the school this year following bomb threats at multiple historically Black colleges and universities, including Howard and Bowie State universities in February.
