October 7, 2018
During the late afternoon of Sunday, October 7, several posters containing biased and anti-Semitic messages were identified in numerous campus buildings. The wording, along with drawings of elected officials and the recent Supreme Court appointee, was as follows:
"EVERYTIME SOME ANTI-WHITE, ANTI-AMERICAN, ANTI-FREEDOM EVENT TAKES PLACE, YOU LOOK AT IT AND IT'S THE JEWS BEHIND IT."
A Star of David symbol and the phrase, "Good Goy" also appeared on the foreheads of those pictured. The Daily Stormer, the organization responsible for the poster, is a known neo-Nazi and White supremacist group that espouses racist and anti-Semitic beliefs.
The posters were removed by Safety and Security and others. The Bias Incident Response Team was also alerted. At 7:20 PM, President Bradley sent an all-campus email condemning the posters and biased content.
An investigation is on-going and if anyone has additional information about these posters, they should contact Safety and Security at845-437-7333 or BIRT.
Note: BIRT log entries may be updated and amended as additional information emerges.
