ALBANY — University at Albany officials said they've seen no evidence that students were responsible for the handful of posters that were put up last month on campus touting Identity Evropa, a white supremacist group that wants to halt all forms of immigration.

About two dozen of the posters were put up on the main campus podium bulletin boards and near the downtown campus.

Because the podium bulletin boards are reserved for recognized student organizations, the posters were taken down since there is no official Identity Evropa on the campus.

The group may be best known for dropping massive banners from bridges in and around Atlanta and other spots calling for an end to immigration. It was also involved in planning the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Va., which resulted in a fatality when a white supremacist drove his car into a crowd of protesters.

Identity Evropa describes itself as an “identitarian” group seeking to preserve what they say is the white European culture of the U.S.

UAlbany officials stressed that no such group is recognized as a campus organization. Nor do they believe there is any active effort to organize a campus chapter.

The campus’ Student Association voted to condemn the group on Tuesday, and UAlbany President Havidan Rodriguez made a statement opposing its values.

“The beliefs espoused by this organization are antithetical to UAlbany’s core belief that our rich diversity makes us stronger and propels our students, faculty and staff to accomplish great things,” Rodriguez said in a prepared statement. “To be absolutely clear: We are great because of our diversity, not in spite of it.”

UAlbany isn’t the first campus to see such posters.

In September posters from the group turned up outside Orange County Community College in Middletown, as well as outside the Mexican consulate in New York City.

One of the posters criticizes Gov. Andrew Cuomo, claiming the he opposes freedom of speech. Cuomo has spoken out against hate crimes and white supremacist groups.
