Earlier today, several faculty members received envelopes containing
hate mail. We have alerted the Hate Crimes Unit of the New York City
Police Department, which is still investigating the October 2007 hate
crime incidents.

We anticipate that the New York City Police Department will be at
Teachers College to investigate this matter. We encourage all members
of the community to cooperate fully.

The TC community deplores these hateful acts, which violate every
Teachers College and societal norm.

We urge anyone who has any information about this incident to
immediately contact (anonymously or otherwise) any of the following:

The 26th Precinct Detective Squad
John DeAngelis, Director of Public Safety
Janice Robinson, Vice President for Diversity and Community
