Temple University police are searching for a person of interest after racist flyers were found posted on campus.
University officials say “highly offensive racist flyers” were found posted outside a utility pole in the 1200 block of Norris Street, one on a parking bollard in the 1300 block of Norris and the third on a news box at 13th Street and Montgomery Avenue.
A student posted a photo on Twitter Thursday showing one of the flyers in front of a campus dorm. It appears to blame African Americans for Bernie Sanders not winning the 2016 presidential election.
In a letter to the Temple community Friday, President Richard Englert called the flyers “disgusting, intimidating and hateful” adding that they have no place on the campus.
