GRAND FORKS, N.D.
A swastika drawn on a University of North Dakota law school window near one of the building's entrances is the fifth found scrawled on campus in the past four months.
UND President Charles Kupchella and Provost Greg Weisenstein issued a statement saying they are ``saddened, disappointed and disgusted.''
``There is no place (at) the University of North Dakota -- or anywhere else, for that matter -- for harassing, demeaning or culturally insensitive acts,'' they said.
UND police have been investigating several incidents of racist graffiti on campus since February. A student has been charged with disorderly conduct in one of the cases. UND administrators have been criticized by regional Jewish organizations and by members of the Jewish Student's Organization on campus for being too slow to react to reports of apparent hate-based incidents.
