3 Ivy League universities issue evacuations after receiving bomb threats

Police were called to three Ivy League campuses Sunday over alleged bomb threats.

Three Ivy League school campuses issued evacuations Sunday afternoon after receiving bomb threats.

The incidents at Cornell, Columbia and Brown universities came two days after a similar threat took place at Yale University Friday.

The New York Police Department was called to Columbia's campus around 2:30 p.m. and students and visitors were told to avoid the area, the school said on Twitter.

Cornell University officials said a security perimeter was put into place around 4:10 p.m. as officers investigated the threats.
