'Despicable' Hateful Graffiti and Fliers Found at WCSU in Danbury

DANBURY, CT — Western Connecticut State University Police have asked for the public's assistance in their investigation of "hate-filled" fliers and graffiti which were discovered on campus Halloween night.

School President John B. Clark did not specify to whom or to what group the hate was directed, except to say that it was "despicable and utterly unacceptable behavior," in a release.

In addition to the campus constabulary, the Danbury PD, State Police and the FBI are all involved in the investigation. Clark said that it is possible the fliers originated off-campus. He has pledged when the responsible party is discovered, "they will be subject to the severest disciplinary actions, including dismissal as well as possible civil and criminal actions."

The police are reviewing surveillance video and interviewing witnesses as part of the investigation, according to the release.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the WCSU Police at 203-837-9300.
