According to a statement released by the school's president, they received an anti-Semitic and racist email with language consistent with recent emergency incidents tied to Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

"These targeted acts represent a deeply rooted effort to disrupt and undermine the safety and well-being of our students, educators and fellow HBCU institutions," the statement read.

"As always, know that Alabama A&M will continue to make the safety of those who study, live, and work on campus a top priority. Threats like this reinforce our mission and serve as motivation to all Normalites to hold high the vision of our Founder."
