University of Denver has opened an investigation of a spate of antisemitic incidents on campus.
The Algemeiner reports that according to Hillel at Denver University (DU Hillel), over the past several weeks mezuzahs belonging to three Jewish students have been “taken down and defiled” and one of the students “had pork products glued to their door.”
“DU’s Office of Equal Opportunity and Title IX (EOIX) is pursuing an investigation of these incidents, including a thorough review of video footage from campus safety,” Chancellor Jeremy Haefner said on Friday. “EOIX will work alongside the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities, which oversees student conduct cases, and take appropriate steps to address the conduct and hold those found responsible accountable for their actions.”
Haefner added that the university will hold an educational event on antisemitism and another, “Jewnity Shabbat Hop,” which Hillel is co-sponsoring. The university’s Campus Safety Department will report the incidents as hate crimes, per the Clery Act, a law passed in 1998 that requires schools to report their crime statistics to the US Department of Education.
