In a message to the university community, Yale Police Chief Ronnell Higgins said the first incident at the building, which is under construction, occurred on Sept. 20, when workers “noticed that anti-Semitic and racist graffiti was spray-painted inside the building, and project materials belonging to one construction company employee had been vandalized.” Police began investigating the following day, he said, and the university’s “facilities team in collaboration with the construction company increased security measures, installing additional security cameras, and fortifying the perimeter fencing and access gates to the construction site.” Then, around 11:30 p.m. Saturday, “several young adults” were captured on surveillance footage allegedly breaking into the site, Higgins said. The youths “vandalized indoor areas of the building and spray-painted anti-Semitic and racist language on interior surfaces,” he said in the message.
