RINDGE, N.H. (AP) – Swastikas painted on the walls of a Franklin Pierce University dorm bathroom and hallway and an anti-Semitic message written on a classroom desk have spurred the school to launch an investigation and educate students about tolerance.

University spokesman Brian Stuart says the graffiti swastikas began popping up around campus and at freshman dorms toward the end of the fall. He said another swastika was found on the wall of an on-campus apartment and an anti-Semitic phrase directed at another student was found this week on a desk in an academic building at the university.

Stuart would not identify the victim, who is Jewish, and at least one other student accused of harassing him, but said the two have agreed to participate in mediation.

Meanwhile, the Rindge Police Department is investigating reports of anti-Semitic and anti-homosexual pamphlets that have been distributed to residents’ mailboxes.
