Response to antisemitic poster on campus

A hateful, antisemitic poster was discovered recently outside the main entrance of 100 McCaul Street. The poster was immediately removed by Safety and Security as soon as it was reported and has been reported to Toronto Police.

 

OCAD University is cooperating with the Toronto Police investigation.
