BLOOMINGTON (AP) — The director of Indiana University's Jewish Studies Program said someone took Hebrew texts from library shelves, moved them to library bathrooms and urinated on them.
It's the latest in a series of anti-Semitic incidents reported on the Indiana campus. Jewish Studies Program Director Jeffrey Veidlinger told The Herald-Times the acts are disturbing and seem to be escalating.
Police say they are aggressively investigating five suspected anti-Semitic incidents reported at IU over the past week, including rocks thrown through windows at the Chabad House Jewish Student Center and the Helene G. Simon Hillel Center.
Police have contacted the FBI and are looking for a person of interest who they describe as a white male age 40 to 50 with grayish-blond hair and a gray beard.
