Members of the BGSU Community:
A racial slur was painted on the spirit rock near Kreischer Quad sometime yesterday. While the University acted swiftly to remove the offensive graffiti,
members of our community were impacted.
BGSU embraces a culture of diversity and inclusion. All across campus we work hard to uphold the core values of the University including "respect for one
another."
This type of hate speech will NOT be tolerated at BGSU. The incident is under investigation by the Office of the Dean of Students with support from BGSU
Police. Any student(s) found responsible will be held accountable under the University Code of Student Conduct.
If you have any information about this incident, or if you become aware of any acts of discrimination or racism, please contact the Office of the Dean of
Students at 419-372-2843. In addition, a Bias Incident Report can be completed and submitted online.
We will not allow this incident to divide our community! Show BGSU's commitment to stopping hate by participating in the reaffirmation celebration of the Not In Our Town initiative on Thursday, October 20.
Regards,
Mary Ellen Mazey, Ph.D.
President, Bowling Green State University
