There is no room for racism or violence on this campus. We condemn this kind of behavior and are doing everything we can to support the victims of it.
Update (3/3): To be clear: we condemn this behavior and will not tolerate it under any circumstance. The safety and well-being of our community has been — and will continue to be — our top priority.
