The University of Rochester in New York found “wanted” posters of Jewish faculty members on campus on Sunday night.
“This act is disturbing, divisive and intimidating and runs counter to our values as a university,” said university president Sarah Mangelsdorf.
“Furthermore, several of those depicted appear to have been targeted because they are members of our Jewish community. We view this as antisemitism, which will not be tolerated at our University. This isn’t who we are. This goes against everything we stand for and we have an obligation to reject it,” she added.
The school’s Department of Public Safety immediately began taking the posters down, highlighting the difficulty of the task in its statement.
