Invitations to a fictitious club saying “Jews need not apply” were slipped under doors in Harvard University dormitories.
The flyers enclosed in sealed envelopes invited students to the inaugural event of a new undergraduate social club, or finals club, called the Pigeon, the Harvard Crimson student newspaper reported. The flyers, discovered Nov. 30, also said “Seriously, no f***ing Jews. Coloreds OK.”
There are eight all-male and five all-female Harvard finals clubs, which are not recognized by the university and have been accused of promoting “an exclusive and dangerous social environment,” according to the Crimson.
The Crimson also reported that on Nov. 30, two Northeastern University students who vandalized a menorah located on the Boston campus were identified on a surveillance video and will face disciplinary action. — jta
