The University of California Santa Cruz launched an investigation of an unidentified group of students who hosted a birthday party for Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
“A group of students reportedly gathered to celebrate Adolf Hitler’s birthday,” Vice Chancellor Akirah Bradley-Armstrong wrote in a message to the university community. “They sang happy birthday and ate cakes adorned with hateful and horrific symbols.”
The university promised that this another incident involving an “antisemitic and anti-LGBTQIA+ flyer,” would be “addressed accordingly.”
“White supremacy has no place at UC Santa Cruz. Nor does any action intended to degrade, dehumanize, or intimidate another based on identity,” the statement continued.
“We will not tolerate such vitriol; nor will we abide the fear and terror it intends to inspire,” the vice chancellor wrote. “United by our shared sense of humanity, we must strive to be a welcoming place for all people. Together, we must continue to reject all expressions of hate.”
The College Fix reached out to UC Santa Cruz via email and asked for more information on the investigation and if there are any First Amendment concerns of investigating the students, but the university has not responded in the past two weeks.
