The blaze at a Drexel University dorm began around 11 p.m. Tuesday in Race Hall, according to campus police.

Police found that decorations on the student’s door were “intentionally” set on fire. The flames were “quickly extinguished” by the Philadelphia Fire Department.

The school is investigating if bias or discrimination was involved, according to a letter from University President John Fry.

“Unfortunately, we were made aware of a distressing situation that included destruction inside one of our residence halls,” he wrote. “Thankfully, no one was injured. We are investigating to determine if bias, discrimination, or hate, which we do not tolerate at Drexel, was the motivation behind this incident. The investigation into this incident is ongoing, and we will update the community once it has concluded.”

No one was hurt.

The Drexel University student’s dorm room went up in flames around 11 p.m. Tuesday. The school is investigating whether bias was involved in the attack.

I find it telling, about the University admin that they are investigating whether a dorm room that was set on fire was the result of "bias or discrimination".

If it was a student of color, I’d assume it was intentionally set. Now, 60-40 in favor of the antifa sorts.

One of the many reasons I have no respect for the media:
Sensationalism.

“...student’s dorm room went up in flames around 11 p.m...”

“...decorations on the student’s door were “intentionally”
set on fire. The flames were “quickly extinguished”...”

In this day and age surveillance cameras are everywhere especially on a school campus/dorm area. They probably already know who did it.

"Just" the exit to the dorm room was set on fire, right?

...which was likely set by the students themselves.

Whenever the left says they are investigating something what they really mean is that they are covering up what they know,
or what they don’t want others to know, and waiting for another shiny object to draw attention elsewhere.

“...The school is investigating if bias or discrimination was involved...”
Captain Obvious gave up visiting liberal universities (e.g, 99+% of them) decades ago.

If the victim was black, all sh!t would let loose.
Some need to find these azz wipe(s) and give the beat down of their sorry lives.
This is ridiculous already!
