Racist, Homophobic Fliers Found At Rhode Island College

PROVIDENCE, RI — An investigation is underway after racist and homophobic pamphlets were found on the Rhode Island College (RIC) campus in Providence, according to school officials.

In a letter to the college community, RIC President Jack Warner said the pamphlets were found Wednesday at residence halls. Warner said the pamphlets were similar to antisemitic materials distributed in other Rhode Island cities and towns.

"I want to assure you that there is no place on our campus for this kind of hate, and we will do everything within our power to protect our campus community," Warner said in the letter.

The pamphlets are under a full investigation by RIC campus police, Providence police, the Rhode Island Attorney General's office, and the Rhode Island State Fusion Center.
