UNION, N.J. – A former Kean University student faces up to five years in prison after police allege she posted fake racial threats on Twitter against black students on campus.

Kayla-Simone McKelvey, 24, is charged with one count of causing a false public alarm in the third degree for allegedly posting the threats Nov. 17 during a Black Lives Matter rally at the school’s Union campus, PIX 11 reports.

McKelvey graduated from Kean last spring but remained politically active at the school, and was one of the leaders in a days-long protest in support of black students at the University of Missouri and Yale University.

Police contend McKelvey left the event and dashed into the library, where she set up a fake Twitter account – @keanuagainstblk – and sent out nine threatening messages in the span of about five minutes.

Bar Stool Sports captured the tweets:

“I will kill every black male and female at kean university”

“I will shoot every black woman and male I see at kean university”

“I will shoot any black person I see at kean university”

“@KeanUniversity theres a bomb on your campus”

“the cops wont save you …. you’re black #keanuniversity”

“black people at kean university will die #keanuniversity”

“@kupolice I will kill all the blacks tonight, tomorrow and any other day if they go to Kean university”

“@DawoodNot tell every black person that you know they will die if they go to #Keanuniversity”

Police allege McKelvey returned to the rally after posting the Twitter threats and alerted other protesters to the posts, the Associated Press reports.

“Security was increased at Kean after the threats were discovered, though classes weren’t affected,” according to the news service. “But the threats did lead a group of black ministers to call for Kean President Dawood Farahi to resign the following day, saying that the threats showed that he hadn’t done enough to address alleged racial tension on campus. The school responded that the claims of racial tension were baseless.”

Farahi issued a joint statement on the incident with Union County Prosecutor Grace H. Park.

“We are saddened to learn that the person allegedly responsible was an active participant in the rally that took place on campus on Tuesday, November 17 and is a former student of Kean,” the statement read. “As a diverse academic community, we wholeheartedly respect and support activism, however, no cause or issue gives anyone the right to threaten the safety of others.

“We hope this information will begin to bring a sense of relief and security to the campus community.”

The university also highlighted the fact that it’s among the most diverse institutions in the state.

According to state data cited by the AP, last year’s freshman class was 31 percent white, 30 percent Hispanic, 20 percent black, 5 percent Asian, and 14 percent unknown or other.
