AMHERST -- The University of Massachusetts was not alone in receiving the "hate-filled, racist and anti-Semitic flyer" that started printing out of printers and fax machines at locations around campus Thursday.

The flyers turned out in printers at Smith College in Northampton, Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, as well as Northeastern University in Boston, DePaul University in Chicago, Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey, and the University of Southern California, said Robert Trestan, executive director of the New England Anti-Defamation League.

UMass Amherst Chancellor Kumble Subbaswamy in an email to the UMass community reported that UMass police and information technology officials are investigating the occurrence as an "information security incident."

"The flyer, which includes the web address of an organization identified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, appears to have been transmitted from an off-campus location," Subbaswamy said.

UMass spokesman Edward Blaguszewski said UMass is continuing to investigate the flyers.

Also, police are continuing to investigate three previous incidents involving swastikas. Swastikas were carved on two bathroom doors and another was etched into a snow pile on top of a car roof. "We have no suspects," Blaguszewski said.

Trestan said hacking into systems on campus "is a new tactic." In the past, people would print the flyers, then walk around and post them or slip them under doors or on windshields.

"This represents a new strategy to anonymously disseminate anti-Semitism," Trestan said.

He said it's also troubling because there's a security component. "They've apparently found a vulnerable (way) into university and college computer systems to be able to do this," Trestan said. "It's important for law enforcement (to figure this out).

"It's quite concerning because it's so widespread. There was considerable planning that was involved to do this," he said.

Trestan thinks The Daily Stormer, a neo-Nazi website that openly embraces Hitler and National Socialism, might have been involved because its website was listed at the bottom of the flyer.

At Smith College, Vice President for Inclusion, Diversity and Equity Dwight Hamilton, in an email distributed to the campus, reported that the document "was sent from an off-campus computer; Campus Police and ITS are working to identify and block its source."
