This story is a huge scandal, not that you’d know it from the liberal media coverage.

FOX News reports:

University of Rochester addresses hundreds of ‘wanted’ posters for Jewish faculty members posted around campusThe University of Rochester said hundreds of “wanted” posters seeking Jewish members of faculty were found posted around campus in recent days.In an update Wednesday, the Department of Public Safety (DPS) said it believes all the wanted posters, found in buildings across campus, including classroom spaces, have been removed, but anyone who finds more should contact the department.DPS Chief Quchee Collins said in a statement that the department has identified “several persons of interest,” including “current students, individuals whose current enrollment status is unclear, and other individuals,” as it continues to investigate the incident.The posters reportedly listed Jewish faculty members, including senior university leaders and members of the Board of Trustees, saying they are “wanted” for alleged “war crimes,” as the Israeli military continues its operation against Hamas terrorists in Gaza launched in response to the Oct. 7, 2023 attacks. Some posters accused those Jewish faculty members of “ethnic cleansing” and encouraging the “displacement of Palestinians,” or of perpetuating “racism” and “hate speech,” USA Today reported.”I want to be as clear as I can that the University of Rochester strongly denounces the recent display of ‘wanted’ posters targeting senior university leaders and members of our faculty, staff, and Board of Trustees,” University President Sarah Mangelsdorf said in a statement Tuesday. “This act is disturbing, divisive, and intimidating and runs counter to our values as a university.””Furthermore, several of those depicted appear to have been targeted because they are members of our Jewish community. We view this as antisemitism, which will not be tolerated at our University,” she added. “This isn’t who we are. This goes against everything we stand for and we have an obligation to reject it.”
