A noose was found hanging from a tree at Stanford University’s freshman residence hall Sunday, prompting campus police to open a hate crime investigation.
In an email to students and staff, university officials said campus safety authorities immediately “removed the noose and retained it as evidence” after it wasCampus police have interviewed students and maintenance workers to try to find out when the noose had been put on display, and identify a potential suspect or suspects.
“We cannot state strongly enough that a noose is a reprehensible symbol of anti-Black racism and violence that will not be tolerated on our campus,” said the email from vice provosts Susie Brubaker-Cole and Patrick Dunkley. “It is the moral responsibility of those with any knowledge of this incident to come forward” so appropriate action can be taken.In 2019, a noose was found hanging on a tree near a residence for summer students.
“It is especially dispiriting that this incident does not exist in isolation, but is part of a longer series of incidents, here and elsewhere, that continue to seek to intimidate and marginalize members of the Black community and many other communities because of their identity,” Tessler-Lavigne wrote.
He added: “My heart aches for the members of our Black community who are experiencing a full range of emotions as a result of the appearance of this noose, including feeling targeted, fearful, or dismayed. I stand with you in rejecting hate and in stating that conduct of this kind has no place at Stanford.”
