Given\u200d the recent attacks on Israel and the increase in anti-Semitic sentiment globally, it is likely that this act was driven by hatred \u200dand prejudice.

The targeting of any individual or group based\u200d on their \u200dreligion or background\u2064 is unacceptable. It is imperative that we foster an environment\u200c of respect and understanding, where diversity is celebrated and embraced.<\/p>\n<p>Drexel University is determined to \u2063learn from this incident and strengthen its commitment to creating a safe and \u200binclusive campus for \u2062all students.
