Macalester College continues to have issues with swastikas turning up on campus, according to online alerts posted Wednesday and Thursday on the college’s website.
One was drawn on a residence hall bulletin board, and another found carved into a door.
Officials believe both incidents occurred earlier in October.
“Actions and behaviors such as this are unacceptable and have a wide range of negative impacts on the community,” Macalester said in the report. “The swastika is a symbol of anti-semitism and white supremacy that raises feelings among many communities of being targeted and singled out.”
Anti-Arab hate speech also was discovered Thursday on a custodial closet door in a residence hall, according to the college.
“There is no indication that any particular student or employee was targeted,” the statement said.
The college filed reports on the incidents with its campus security and forwarded them to the St. Paul Police Department.
A similar swastika incident was reported Sept. 15. The college issued an online alert then and asked for help in finding those responsible for the damage.
