Goucher College Student Discovers Racist Graffiti On Campus

Police are investigating after a student found racist graffiti at Goucher College early Wednesday, college officials say.

The graffiti had language denigrating black people and targeting specific student residents. Baltimore County police were subsequently called to the scene at the liberal arts college in Towson. The Goucher community was told of the incident later Wednesday morning. The college's public safety, residential life and dean of students offices are working with the affected students to provide supports, officials said in a statement.

"Goucher College strongly condemns all bigotry and racism, which are in complete opposition to our values and mission," read the statement. "We will absolutely not tolerate such abhorrent acts of hate, which threaten the well-being and safety of our community members. We are aggressively working to address this matter, and will keep the community informed of the situation."
