The University has allowed white supremacy to spread on campus. In light of this, the mural defacement is not surprising.

The spray-paint consisted of a white base layer underneath red and blue messages in support of a white nationalist hate group. 

The Center for Diversity and Inclusion hosted a meeting, timed with racial conflicts occurring in St. Louis and across the country, to discuss white supremacy on campus open to Washington University students, faculty and staff Oct. 5.

Posters promoting “Identity Evropa”—a white supremacist group that attempts to spread its message primarily on college campuses—were found in and around the Village last Monday.
