For the second day in a row, more than half a dozen historically Black colleges and universities reported bomb threats Tuesday, sparking fears among students and locking down campuses across the country.

Jenna Sellitto, an FBI spokesperson in Atlanta, said the agency was aware of the threats at the schools."The FBI takes all potential threats seriously, and we regularly work with our law enforcement partners to determine their credibility," she said Monday.

At Howard, which also received a bomb threat Monday, university police chief Marcus Lyles said none of,"but they have become a drain on institutional and municipal resources and an unnecessary mental burden on individuals trying to learn and work on our campus." The colleges to receive threats Monday also included Albany State University in Georgia; Southern University and A&M College in Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Bowie State University in Maryland; Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach, Florida; and in Delaware State University in Dover.

U.S. Reps. Alma Adams of North Carolina and French Hill of Arkansas, the co-chairs of the Congressional Bipartisan HBCU Caucus, said in a statement Monday they were"deeply disturbed" by the threats. "Learning is one of the most noble and most human pursuits, and schools are sacred places that should always be free from terror. Solving these crimes and bringing those responsible to justice should be a top priority for federal law enforcement," the co-chairs said.
