FRANKFORT, Ky. — The bomb threat made early Tuesday morning to Kentucky State University has since been cleared by emergency personnel.
This comes as at least a half-dozen historically Black universities in five states and the District of Columbia responded to bomb threats Monday, with many of them locking down their campuses.
University Police, local and state law enforcement agencies searched all campus facilities and have issued an all-clear. The shelter-in-place is lifted and it is now safe to return to campus.
In-person classes and all other university operations will resume Wednesday, February 2. Residential students may resume accessing dining and student facilities.
Students and staff are still expected to attend classes virtually on Tuesday.
As a precaution and until further notice, students and employees will be required to use their campus ID to enter campus and campus buildings.
Updates will be sent to university emails and on university social media platforms.
If you know anything or see anything suspicious, please report it to University Police at (502) 597-6878.
We will update this story as more information is released.
