Anti-Semitic vandalism was found in a bathroom at a Columbia University building yesterday, two days after a noose was found hanging on a black professor’s office, university and police officials said. In a statement sent to the campus community, the president of Columbia, Lee Bollinger, called the vandalism, found in Lewisohn Hall, an “anti-Semitic smear.” Mr. Bollinger said it had been quickly removed from the bathroom and was being investigated.
“I also want to reassure you that we have utmost confidence in our Public Safety officials and in the NYPD,” Mr. Bollinger said.
Police officials confirmed that a caricature of a man wearing a yarmulke above a swastika had been found scrawled in black ink on a bathroom stall door.
