Adams | A000370 | adams.house.gov | adams | https://adams.house.gov/media-center/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. (August 29, 2022) – In the wake of another round of bomb threats against Howard University, Congresswoman Alma Adams (NC-12), founder and co-chair of the Congressional Bipartisan Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCU) Caucus, released the following statement: “Last week’s bomb threats towards Howard University are yet another unacceptable interruption of the academic life of our HBCU communities. Since January, scores of Historically Black Colleges and Universities have received threats. Now, these acts of terror have entered a second academic year. Like all academic institutions, HBCUs are still recovering from the academic disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic - further unaddressed disruptions are a burden for our students, faculty, staff, and the entire Howard University community. Our HBCUs expect – and deserve – nothing less than urgency in bringing the perpetrators of these threats to justice.” Background Last week, Howard University received two bomb threats within a 48-hour period. These are the first known threats against HBCUs this academic year. Earlier this calendar year, approximately one-third of all HBCUs in the United States experienced bomb threats. Rep. Adams, along with multiple Congressional stakeholders, introduced House Concurrent Resolution 70, which condemned the Bomb threats. H.Con.Res.70 was co-led by Rep. French Hill (R-AR-02) in the House and cosponsored by over 110 Democrats and Republicans in Congress.
