House Passes Resolution Regarding HBCU Bomb Threats

The House of Representatives passed a concurrent resolution that condemns threats of violence against Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and reaffirms support for HBCUs and their students, by a bipartisan vote of 418-0.  The higher education community supported the resolution and called for its passage.  

The legislative initiative was introduced by the House Bipartisan HBCU Caucus co-Chairs Representatives Alma Adams (D-NC) and French Hill (R-AK) in response to the bomb threats being received on HBCU campuses. 

Last week, the Senate passed a similar resolution that was introduced by the Senate Bipartisan HBCU Caucus co-Chairs Senators Tim Scott (R-SC) and Chris Coons (D-DE).
