STANFORD -- The placing of an antisemitic drawing in a dormitory at Stanford University is being investigated by campus police as a hate crime, officials said.
Due to the criminal investigation, the drawing isn't considered protected speech and the person or persons responsible could face legal or disciplinary action, the university said. And a swastika with"KKK" surrounding it was carved into the wall of a men's bathroom stall in Wallenberg Hall on March 3, the statement said.
Those incidents were reported against a backdrop of recent incendiary antisemitic statements, including tweets from Kanye West, signs over a major Los Angeles bridge and messages projected on buildings in Florida.
