Campus security at Washington D.C.’s Georgetown University are looking for the vandal who painted a swastika symbol and a misogynistic message in a residence hall on Wednesday evening, the start of the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah.
The graffiti was found inside a women’s restroom at the Catholic university’s LXR residence hall, according to an email sent to students by the school’s president, John J. DeGioia.
