At least four colleges closed or locked down operations after coordinated swatting calls—false reports intended to draw emergency responses—forced campuses to evacuate or shelter in place. Villanova University, Alcorn State, Wiley University and Bishop State Community College reported threats that disrupted classes and prompted local and federal law‑enforcement responses; the FBI is investigating. The incidents follow a recent series of swatting events at K–12 schools and HBCUs, and highlight growing security risks and operational costs for campus safety teams. Administrators said continuity plans and rapid communication protocols limited harm, but officials warned of reputational and logistical fallout for students and staff.
