Hate crime/bias-motivated marking/writing on-campus

At 8:40 a.m., Thursday, December 27, 2007, Public Safety received a report that a small swastika with the name “Hitler” under the symbol had been drawn on an inside wall of the west elevator in W. W. Holes Residence Hall. Interviews have confirmed this vandalism was NOT present in that elevator before 1:00 p.m., yesterday, Wednesday, December 26, 2007. Details such as size and color of the symbol and writing, writing style of the name and exact location of this symbol and writing within the elevator are not being released as such detail may be of value in the on-going investigation of this incident.

This drawing and writing constitutes a threat to the safety of our students, the security of our campus community and is hurtful to our entire educational community. Everyone is encouraged to be vigilant concerning campus and individual security.
