University Message Regarding Swastika on Kent Campus

Dear Members of the ÃÛÑ¿appUniversity Community,

ÃÛÑ¿appPolice are investigating the recent appearance of a swastika painted on the Kent Campus. We are not sure exactly when it was painted, but in the aftermath of the massacre in Buffalo, New York, its appearance serves as a reminder of the threat of extremism and the need for all of us to denounce the growing wave of racism, intolerance and violence in our nation. ÃÛÑ¿appis committed to creating a community of kindness and respect, and the recent appearance of this symbol of hate is a reminder of the work ahead of us during perilous times.
 
For students in need, or for individuals who are concerned about a student’s mental well-being, Counseling and Psychological Services is available Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., at 330-672-2487. University employees in need of support may contact IMPACT Solutions at 1-800-227-6007, which is available 24 hours a day.
