• Swarthmore College condemns pro-Palestinian graffiti (campusreform.org) — Swarthmore residents should know that Swarthmore College is investigating a wave of politically charged graffiti that appeared across campus buildings, trees, and walkways on May 1, with borough police involved. College President Val Smith condemned the vandalism and warned that any students found responsible could face immediate suspension, following a similar incident at the Swarthmore Inn late last year.
