University Provost Susan R. Wente launch hate crime investigation, saying symbol is “associated with hate, anti-Semitism, violence, death, & murder.”
Vanderbilt University officials have launched a hate crime investigation after three swastikas were found spray-painted inside a Jewish fraternity house.
The local newspaper, The Tennessean, cited a statement that Provost Susan R. Wente sent to students Monday reporting that the graffiti had been found Saturday after a party at the Alpha Epsilon Pi house.
Wente condemned use of the symbol, which she said is “associated with hate, anti-Semitism, violence, death, and murder.”
