More than 100 people stood in silence at SUNY Plattsburgh on Tuesday, supporting those targeted on campus. Last week, just before Holocaust Remembrance Day, someone posted anti-Semitic and racist flyers in Hawkins Hall. "This is my first act of anti-semitism I've ever encountered here," SUNY Plattsburgh's Hillel club president Arin Cotel-Altman said. She didn't see the flyers, but heard all about them. "I basically said something has to be done. We have to do something," she said. So she organized the Study Break for Solidarity, and university President John Ettling showed up. Ettling had already sent a campus-wide email about what happened. It reads, in part, "These flyers do not represent the values of our campus. It is critical as we acknowledge our past, as we continue to move beyond hatred and educate for the future. As president, I will work to ensure our campus is a place where that will always happen." The email comforted Cotel-Altman. "I know I'm safe on this campus, and my members know they're safe," she said. She hopes others will learn from this -- to take action if you're a victim. "Hopefully (the person or people who posted the flyers) saw what we did and maybe that will scare them into not doing it again. You never know how your actions can affect people," she said. The SUNY Plattsburgh Police Department is investigating the incident.
