"Racist Incident Prompts Increased Police Patrols at UW-Whitewater Campus"

The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater has increased police patrols on campus after a group projected a swastika image on a student dorm, prompting concerns about safety and antisemitism. The incident, which occurred just before the start of the spring semester, has led to heightened security measures and counseling services being offered to those impacted. This comes amid a significant increase in reported antisemitic incidents across the US in the months following the October 7 attack by Hamas, with the university condemning the actions and emphasizing its commitment to creating a safe and inclusive community.
