An investigation is underway after a residence hall at Central Connecticut State University was vandalized with antisemitic graffiti, according to school officials.
CCSU officials said a swastika was written in black marker on a hallway door in a residence hall and has since been cleaned off.
In an email sent to the school community, the school president described the incident saying in part:
"Not only is this a hate crime, but its message is abhorrent and completely contrary to the values of our Central community. This behavior will not be tolerated, and an investigation is currently underway."
