"Multiple emails laced with bomb threats, anti-LGBTQ rhetoric, and other offensive messages targeted New York University on Jan. 22, prompting the NYPD to beef up security on campus. Shortly after 7 a.m., NYU announced that two emails threatened violence at the Silver Center and Palladium Residence Hall. One of the emails contained a bomb threat targeting Palladium, while the other email included a threat to space within the Silver Center, according to an advisory on the college's website."
"One hour later, NYU said the Silver Center and Palladium Residence Hall were given the all-clear after an investigation, and classes carried on as normal. There will be heightened security from NYPD and NYU Campus Safety across campus today, the advisory noted. Before officials gave the all-clear, access was limited at Palladium and Silver while the areas were being swept. Both the NYPD and federal officials were notified, according to NYU."
Multiple emails delivered to New York University's servers on Jan. 22 contained bomb threats and offensive, targeted rhetoric against LGBTQ+, Black, Asian, Muslim, Jewish, and Jesuit communities. Two emails threatened violence at the Silver Center and Palladium Residence Hall; one explicitly mentioned a bomb at Palladium and the other threatened space within the Silver Center. NYU Campus Safety and the NYPD conducted sweeps of both locations, temporarily restricting access before declaring them all-clear about an hour later and allowing classes to continue. NYPD and federal officials were notified, security was heightened across campus, and recipients were instructed not to forward the emails and to call Campus Safety.
