New Jersey: University investigating anti-Muslim graffiti in student center

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The graffiti was found Monday outside the Office of the Muslim Student Association in the student center, said Suzanne Bronski, a campus spokeswoman."The university police immediately launched a full investigation, which is continuing, and the university’s Bias Response Team was appropriately alerted and has been involved," university officials said in a statement.University officials said they also consider this week’s graffiti incident a criminal act."Actions of this kind are a blatant violation of university policies and are considered abhorrent and unacceptable in a campus community that values its diverse constituencies and strives to create a supportive environment for all students, staff, faculty and guests," the university’s statement said. "Since a bias incident is a criminal act, anyone found responsible for such actions will be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."On Thursday, the university held a Day of Unity, a series of campus-wide events aimed at combating bias, prejudice and hate, Bronski said./129
