FBI and Police Investigate Antisemitic Threats Targeting Cornell University's Jewish Community

The FBI and local investigators are investigating antisemitic threats made against the Jewish community at Cornell University. New York Governor Kathy Hochul has directed state police to increase security on campuses statewide. The threats, which were made on an unaffiliated discussion board, depicted graphic threats of murder, sexual violence, and comparisons to animals. Cornell University President Martha Pollack condemned the posts and vowed to ensure the safety of the community. The FBI is working with Cornell and law enforcement partners to determine the credibility of the threats and take appropriate action.
