The threat was against the on-campus residence halls and dining hall, the off-campus University House in Fig Garden and a professor's residence.
In coordination with Fresno Police, campus police officers immediately evacuated all threatened areas.
The threat was fully investigated and found to be not credible. Officers believe the incident is related to a social media post involving a class assignment by one of Fresno State's professors.
In a statement, Fresno state said:
"We strongly condemn any actions that threaten the safety and security of our campus community. We are working diligently to identify the source of this threat and will take appropriate action in accordance with our university policies and local law enforcement."
