vandalism

This semester, there have been three reports of swastikas being painted on the 16th floor of East Campus. This is the same floor on which Chinese students’ name tags were burned in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Columbia’s three undergraduate deans announced on Friday that their schools will collaborate on an investigation into whether the vandalism of door tags bearing East Asian names in residence halls was racially biased. They also called for students to come forward with information.
