A Jewish student had their dorm room set on fire at a Philadelphia university.
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.
