WASHINGTON - A student who complained of swastikas being drawn on a dorm room door has admitted responsibility for them, George Washington University officials say.

Campus police discovered what happened at Mitchell Hall by using a hidden camera, university spokeswoman Tracy Schario says. The student admitted responsibility Monday.

Another student was arrested over the weekend and charged with drawing the Nazi symbols and racial slurs on the doors of different dorm rooms at New Hall. That suspect has been barred from campus.

Both students will go through GW's judicial system to determine whether any D.C. or federal laws were violated.

The university is not disclosing name of either student.

Round up the unusual subjects.

They gave the name of the person who drew the stuff on her door. I don’t remember the name, but she’s Jewish.

There was an incident in the late 90s at Fort Bragg where someone drew a swastika on the home of a biracial couple.

It turned out it was the man. The give away was that the swastika was drawn backwards.

Huh? I know colleges have become pretty repressive places but since when did they become part of the criminal justice systems?

The University needs to disclose the names - get all this crap out in the press...pulling a hate-crime on yourself should be known and prosecuted.

“I don’t remember the name, but she’s Jewish.”

Well, I don’t remember your name, either, but I think it’s Jewish: why even notice?

Did they round up all the white men on campus because of this mentally disturbed nut?

[Beckwith]

The University needs to disclose the names

If the perp was a white, Christian, male student, the school would issue a press release immediately with all pertanent info.

I believe it is pertinent if she were a Jew because it would make her insensitivity to the Holocaust even more apparent.

And now, this word from the Columbia University noose investigation: crickets.

A student who complained of swastikas being drawn on a dorm room door has admitted responsibility for them, George Washington University officials say.

Just one more reason why we usually view these claims with a healthy dose of skepticism. This all started with that silly noose at Jena and has been followed by a bunch of attention-seeking copycats.

It's as stupid as if I found one of these on the way into my office and claimed somebody left it there to call me a honkey.

[Phantom Lord]

Any updates on the Columbia noose case and who the video showed doing it? I haven’t seen a story about it since they turned the video over to police.

[17th Miss Regt]

And you won’t. ‘Cause then Columbia U. would have to fire the ‘victim’.

[ArrogantBustard]

Hey

Honkey!

[jimfree]

It's as stupid as if I found one of these on the way into my office and claimed somebody left it there to call me a honkey.

...or a Harpo...

[Calvin Locke]

I would have thought it meant you were a clown.

[jalisco555]

I think your response was meant for someone else.

[GOPmember]

I'm starting to get flashbacks.
