FBI Joins Probe Into Racist Graffiti at Salisbury University

NAACP Campus Chapter on SU

The FBI has been brought in to help local law enforcement to investigate racist vandalism on the campus of Salisbury University.

The graffiti was found inside Henson Hall yesterday while a second piece of graffiti showed up on a door in Fulton Hall which wrote about hangings during Black History Month as well as using a racial slur.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports that classes were canceled today with the University President Chuck Wright saying that he wanted to give the campus time to heal.

Meanwhile, there was an image of the graffiti posted on line by the campus chapter of the NAACP.

This is the second such incident on campus.

Last fall racist and sexual explicit vandalism appeared three times in Fulton Hall.
