Langston University is monitoring for threats as other HBCUs lock down

After several historically Black colleges and universities went into lockdown after “terroristic threats" were directed at the campuses, Oklahoma’s lone HBCU says its campus remains open.

“Langston University is aware of threats made to other HBCU campuses around the country,” university spokeswoman Ellie Merero told The Oklahoman on Thursday, Sept. 11. “We are monitoring the situation closely. At this time, there are no known threats to our university community.”
