Officials at Lenoir-Rhyne College in Hickory were investigating anti-Semitic graffiti found on the side of a residence hall today.
At about 10 a.m., the school's security department received a call that the word "Jew" had been sprayed on the side of Fritz-Conrad Hall, a upperclassman dormitory, said Lenoir-Rhyne Spokeswoman Margaret Allen.
The graffiti included a drawing of a human figure pointing upward at the lettering, Allen said.
Officials at the private, Lutheran college did not know the significance of the graffiti or if it was meant negatively toward anyone at the school.
The graffiti was removed Wednesday afternoon, Allen said.
Anyone with information should call Lenoir-Rhyne's Department of Security Services at 828-328-7145.
