A message from UC Davis Chancellor Gary S. May is warning students and staff about “neo-Nazi” and “white supremacy” fliers which have been found on campus.

The new academic year doesn’t officially begin until next week.

The fliers apparently were posted sometime in the past several days with some found on Monday

May reported that UC Davis campus police have been notified and are investigating. The police department’s website and Facebook pages had not information on the fliers.

“We are sickened that any person or group would invest any time in such cowardly acts of hate and intimidation,” stated May in his message to students that was published through the university’s communication’s department. “They have no place here. We encourage our community to stand against anti-Semitism and racism. Our Principles of Community remind us to “strive to build and maintain a culture based on mutual respect and caring.”

UC Davis has seen racist fliers several times over the past several years, as has the city. The Davis Muslim mosque has also been the focus of racist acts and literacture.

May states that those students, faculty or staff who need support if they come across a flier, aside from reporting it, should reach out to the Student Health and Counseling Services and Academic and Staff Assistance Program.

“The safety and well-being of the UC Davis community remains our priority,” states May. “Thanks for doing your part to foster a campus climate that is welcoming and inclusive.”
