Swastika Discovered Inside Georgetown University Residence Hall

On Monday, the Georgetown University Police Department (GUPD) sent a message to members of the college community after it received a report that someone had put a swastika on the wall of a residence hall.

Police said the report about the antisemitic graffiti came through Georgetown’s Bias Reporting System. The swastika was drawn on a wall on the second floor of Darnall Hall.

The message said, in part:

We strongly condemn antisemitism in all its forms, and this act of hatred has no place in our community. We stand together with our Jewish community and its allies. We recognize the effect that this deeply troubling incident has on our community, including the impacts on individual students and employees.

The police department stated that its highest priority is the safety, security, and well-being of the Georgetown community.

GUPD asked anyone with information about the swastika incident to call (202) 687-4343.
