Multiple Ivy League college campuses were evacuated on Sunday following reports of bomb threats, days after several Ohio universities received similar threats.

Cornell, Columbia, and Brown Universities all issued emergency alerts after receiving bomb threats Sunday afternoon. They each evacuated buildings and cautioned students to stay away from campus.

In Ithaca, New York, Cornell police cordoned off the center of campus on Sunday after receiving a call that bombs were placed in four buildings. In New York City, Columbia University police issued a campus-wide emergency alert after receiving bomb threats at university buildings at about 2:30 p.m.

Columbia issued a statement following an investigation Sunday.

“Today’s bomb threats were deemed not credible by the NYPD and the campus buildings have been cleared for reoccupancy,” the university announced on Twitter. “We thank those individuals affected for their patience and cooperation in evacuating.”
