Profs Receive 'Anti-Semitic Material'


Created 10/29/2007 - 12:22am

Two Teachers College faculty members received anti-Semitic materials Thursday, according to an e-mail sent to TC students by Provost Tom James.

In his message, James wrote that TC reported the incidents to the New York City Police Department and consulted Jewish civil rights advocacy group the Anti-Defamation League. In order to protect the privacy of the faculty members involved, James wrote that TC will not release their names.

“As always, Teachers College deplores these hateful acts and takes them extremely seriously,” James stated. The incident came two-and-a-half weeks after a noose was hung on the door of a TC professor and anti-Semitic graffiti was found in a bathroom stall in Lewisohn Hall.

The student senate will hold a vigil Tuesday night to discuss this and other recent bias incidents at Teachers College.
