A white supremacist group called American Vanguard is taking responsibility for placing racist recruitment posters on college campuses this week around Texas, including at Rice University.

“Protect the family, reject degeneracy,” one poster near Rice University said.

Rice spokesman David Ruth said university police officers removed two posters that were attached to trees and a third on the Main Street and University Boulevard corner. The university, he said, has a policy against solicitation without permission.

The group also said it has placed posters at Texas State University in San Marcos and the University of North Texas in Denton. Social media posts indicate that most of the leaflets were distributed over the weekend and early this week.

Texas State University President Denise Trauth said Monday that her staff was aware of the situation and would investigate. A UNT spokeswoman told local media that the police department opened an investigation.

Several of the posters referenced President Donald Trump’s campaign slogans: “What Made America Great? Blood and soil. Keep it that way, join the Vanguard.”

Texas State University had seen a spate of racist posters on campus after Trump’s election in November. That investigation is ongoing, a spokesman said Wednesday.
