Cleveland, OH – An antisemitic message was discovered written on the outside of CSU’s Union Building, located at 1836 Euclid Ave., on Thursday, Sept. 21, just days before Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year in Judaism.
The suspect or suspects have not yet been identified.
“Cleveland State University strongly condemns this type of unacceptable behavior,” reads an email sent by the university Friday morning. “We embrace and support a culture of diversity and inclusion -and as a community of scholars (and human beings), we expect our students, faculty, staff and visitors to treat everyone with dignity and respect.”
This recent incident occurred just days before Yom Kippur, also known as the Day of Atonement, which is the most sacred day of the year for Jewish communities across the world. Yom Kippur will be observed from Sunday, Sept. 24 to Monday, Sept. 25.
