The American University community woke up Thursday morning to spray painted graffiti on signage at the Glover Gate entrance off of Massachusetts Avenue. Both sides of the gate were graffitied with red spray paint lettering, which altered “The American University” to the “The Genocide University.” Below the lettering on one side, an upside-down red triangle was also spray-painted. It is a symbol in pro-Palestinan movements, symbolizing Palestinian resistance. The symbol has received criticism due to similarities with a Nazi symbol used to mark political prisoners.
