Stanford University is investigating the drawing of swastikas and an image resembling Adolf Hitler in a dorm building last week as a hate crime.
The investigation was prompted by reports that a Jewish student “found multiple swastikas and an image modified to resemble Adolf Hitler drawn on a white board that was affixed to their personal dormitory door,” according to a statement from the university.
The incident is now being investigated by the Stanford Department of Public Safety as “a crime motivated by hate.”
“Purposely intimidating and threatening people based on protected identities is antithetical to Stanford’s values,” the statement said.
