(JEWISH GROUP) Antisemitic incidents, hate-based vandalism under investigation at Fresno State

Fresno State is investigating three incidents of hate-based vandalism where campus property has been defaced with antisemitic messaging, according to a campuswide statement from president Saúl Jiménez-Sandoval.

The incidents are being investigated collectively and not as isolated incidents because they occurred within a short timeframe and reflect related acts of hate-based vandalism.

Jiménez-Sandoval's statement did not detail the exact content of the messages. Fresno State police records show four reports of vandalism and defacing property in December at different locations on campus.

"As soon as we became aware of these reports, we convened our multidisciplinary team, including University Police Department, the Office of Compliance and Civil Rights, Student Affairs, Facilities and University Counsel, to ensure a coordinated and intentional campuswide response," Jiménez-Sandoval said, in the statement.
