"The university police department is working to identify the person responsible for the graffiti and hold them "accountable for their actions," Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs Vincent Del Casino wrote in a message to the community. In the meantime, the university is ramping up foot patrols by campus police and staff members, Del Casino said. Additional security measures include expanded security cameras in public and exterior areas of residence halls, and improved lighting."
""These sorts of incidents are also very traumatic and we want you to know that we are here for everyone in our community," Del Casino said, adding that students can contact Counseling and Psychological Services, or CAPS, at 408-924-5678 or visit sjsu.ed/wellness. Employees in need of support can contact the Employee Assistance Program, Del Casino said. "Together, we must continue to uphold dignity, compassion and respect for one another," he said."
Graffiti threatening a mass shooting and displaying a large swastika was found at MacQuarrie Hall, specifically warning of violence against Jewish, Chinese and Muslim community members within three days. University police are investigating, seeking to identify the person responsible and to hold them accountable. Campus security measures have been increased, including additional foot patrols, expanded exterior and residence-hall cameras, and improved lighting. Images circulated on social media, and this marks the second incident of racist graffiti on campus in two weeks. Counseling and employee assistance resources are available, and multiple reporting channels and a police tip line have been provided for information.
