Brown University Condemns Anti-Semitic Incident on Campus

Brown University has come forward to condemn an anti-Semitic incident that happened on its property on Tuesday.

Two people, who the university says aren’t enrolled into its programs, were showing an offensive anti-Semitic sign while making a video of themselves roaming around the campus. They were later asked by a university safety officer to move to public property.

Shontay Delalue, vice president for Brown’s Institutional Equity and Diversity, in a letter to the community condemned the incident. She assured that the school will offer resources and support to members who are impacted by hate speech.

“We are saddened that some Brown community members and campus visitors had to witness such abhorrent behavior,” Delalue said.

“At Brown, while we welcome free expression, behavior that creates a hostile environment on campus is not tolerated. This includes expressions of hatred based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation and any other protected classes,” she added.

The school has decided to roll out a new online bias incident reporting system, starting in the spring of 2019 to report incidents and monitor its trends and patterns.
