Virginia HBCUs Lock Down Campuses After Threats
Written by Site Hub on September 11, 2025
Virginia State University and Hampton University implemented emergency lockdowns on September 11 following threats that prompted the cancellation of classes and campus events. VSU issued an early morning alert instructing students to shelter in place while law enforcement investigated. Hampton University later followed with a two-day campus shutdown. Both institutions emphasized student safety and ramped up security measures. The events occurred just after white nationalist Charlie Kirk was shot during a college speaking engagement in Utah, raising concerns about broader threats to educational institutions. Officials continue to investigate while reaffirming support for the HBCU community.
