Officials say that over the past several days, members of the Rutgers Jewish community have been targeted by repeated anti-Semitic attacks.
The Anti-Defamation League released staggering new data on the rise of anti-Semitic hate crimes.
Then, on Monday evening, the AEPi house was targeted again, as eggs were discovered to have been thrown at the house while brothers were reading the names of Holocaust victims overnight in commemoration of Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Memorial Day."There is no place for this type of targeted hate on our campus, and Rutgers Hillel condemns these anti-Semitic acts in the strongest terms," University officials said in a statement.
Chancellor-Provost Francine Conway released a statement about the incident, reaffirming that targeting students because of their Jewish identity is wrong and the university's willingness to address these issues systemically. "We understand and are sensitive to the concerns of those who were targeted, and stand by our Jewish students, faculty and staff," she wrote."Harassment based on religious belief, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or for any reason, is antithetical to our values at Rutgers University."
