FBI To Examine Racist Notes Found At Framingham State

FRAMINGHAM, MA – Officials at Framingham State University are seeking the FBI's help after a series of racist notes were found on campus. Campus police chief Brad Medeiros told the Boston Globe the notes have been given to the FBI to analyze for handwriting evidence. At least four notes targeting black students have been found on campus since October.

The first two messages came within days of each other in October and were written on the same residence hall door. Later that month, a flyer that had been defaced with racially offensive writing was found under a student's door.

The school began offering a $1,000 reward after the third incident.

The most recent note was found slipped under a freshman student's door Friday. In an interview with the Boston Globe, he said the spate of recent incidents has made black students feel unsafe.
