One more incident at Columbia and we’ll have the rare hate-crime-hat-trick.

Columbia Spectator:

Anti-Semitic graffiti was found on a bathroom stall in Lewisohn Hall earlier today, University officials reported.
The incident occurs just two days after a noose was found hanging on the door of an African American professor at Teachers College and just over two weeks after Islamophobic graffiti was found in a stall in a bathroom in the International Affairs Building.
University President Lee Bollinger responded to the graffiti, which reportedly included a swastika.
“When words are the offender, as in this incident, I am reluctant to draw attention to them and will exercise restraint in doing so going forward. I do not want to broadcast, in any way, the message they attempt to send or empower those behind them,” he said in a statement. “Despite the irrational, destructive hatred that persists in our society and world, we do not accept this anywhere at this University. No one among us should feel marginalized or threatened by words of hatred. We are one community; and as one community, we will overcome these hateful acts and hold each other to the highest standards of respect for the dignity and diversity of every individual.”
