Stanford University officials say an investigation is underway after a noose was discovered this week hanging from a tree outside a residence hall.
In an email sent to students and campus staff, university officials say the noose was found Sunday evening hanging from a tree near Branner Hall, one of the undergraduate residence halls.
The Stanford University Department of Public Safety was immediately notified, and campus authorities quickly removed the noose and "retained it as evidence," according to university officials.
"We cannot state strongly enough that a noose is a reprehensible symbol of anti-Black racism and violence that will not be tolerated on our campus," said Vice Provosts Susie Brubaker-Cole and Patrick Dunkley in a news release.
Brubaker-Cole and Dunkley urged anyone with information on the incident to come forward and report it, saying that it was their "moral responsibility."

I don't want to minimize this but many of these have been "self inflicted" by people looking for attention. Whatever it is, it is unacceptable.

Wish they would charge who ever did it with terrorism statutes. Whether it was a hate crime against minorities or a "false flag" type of incident the result and objective was to cause terror to someone.
