School officials say the four individuals involved are not affiliated with the university and their actions are “consistent with a group that has been visiting other campuses.”

A swastika was projected on the facade of a University of Wisconsin-Whitewater dorm Sunday night by a group of people chanting racist remarks, according to school officials and video posted on social media.

The incident unfolded Sunday night and involved four people outside of the Knilans residence hall, the night before the start of the Spring 2024 term, school officials said.

The group was “chanting racist words, lighting what appeared to be road flares and displaying antisemitic symbols,” Chancellor Corey A. King said in a statement to students and staff.

        They’re paraphrasing a line from The Blues Brothers.

    This headline sounds like the most enabling way of saying “Nazis freely roam the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater campus.”
