St. Thomas Public Safety responded to a report of offensive stickers found in the neighborhood surrounding campus Monday, according to a statement published on OneStThomas.
Public Safety officers removed fifteen stickers, one of which was placed on St. Thomas property, according to the statement.
“These stickers referenced the same organization associated with a similar incident at St. Thomas on September 27,” the statement said Monday evening. “Public Safety has notified St. Paul Police and is investigating.”
On Sept. 27, a man walked on to campus at around 3 a.m. and, according to St. Paul Police, placed “about two dozen stickers on university property as well as stop signs, no-parking signs and light poles” along Cleveland, Summit and Cretin avenues.
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Public Safety or the St. Paul Police Department.
These stickers appeared at the same time that organizers of the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally are facing charges in civil court for their involvement in violent demonstrations in Charlottesville.
