On Campus: A third hate crime at UW-Whitewater

Three cars owned by African-American students at UW-Whitewater were vandalized this week, in what university officials are describing as the third hate crime incident on campus this semester. The owners of the vehicles notified police that the tires were slashed and “KKK” was written in spray paint on the doors and hoods. The cars were parked in residence hall lots and the incidents happened between 11 p.m. Monday and 10 a.m. Tuesday.
