STATEMENT ON ANTISEMITIC GRAFFITI AT SDSU

placeholder

The Jewish community at SDSU, including Hillel, Chabad, Alpha Epsilon Pi, and Jewish Campus Leaders are deeply saddened by the antisemitic graffiti vandalism on a SDSU residential hall.

Acts of hate like this are disgraceful and cowardly; that swastikas vandalized a home of Jewish students is especially reprehensible. This demonstration of hate, bigotry, and intolerance will not be tolerated. We stand in solidarity with our Jewish students and the entire Jewish community and will continue to strive for a more inclusive and positive climate for all SDSU students.

We join SDSU in denouncing this vile act, and we applaud them for their swift, unequivocal condemnation and commitment to combating antisemitism.
