In a campuswide email from Campus Communications on Dec. 15, Fresno State President Sa\u00fal Jim\u00e9nez-Sandoval addressed reports of antisemitic vandalism on campus.<\/p>\n
According to the email, Fresno State has received three reports of antisemitic campus property defacement. Details, however, are limited due to the ongoing investigation.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to tell you that these serious incidents are being addressed collectively, not as isolated reports, because they occurred within a short timeframe and reflect related acts of hate-based vandalism,\u201d Jim\u00e9nez-Sandoval said.<\/p>\n
Jim\u00e9nez-Sandoval said multiple facets of the Multi-Disciplinary Team were convened when the reports were received, and the graffiti was removed immediately.<\/p>\n
He also addressed the recent shootings that occurred, both the shooting at Brown University and in Australia on the first day of Hanukkah, which was named a terrorist attack on the Jewish community.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe grieve alongside them, and repudiate such senseless acts of violence; we further recognize how acts of hate and violence, near or far, can reverberate within our own community,\u201d Jim\u00e9nez-Sandoval said.<\/p>\n
Jim\u00e9nez-Sandoval declared that hate and violence have no place on campus and urged community members to reach out if they observe concerning behavior.<\/p>\n
