UC Davis commits funds to combat hate crimes
Following several acts of racist vandalism on campus earlier this year, UC Davis Chancellor Linda Katehi has committed $230,000 annually "to combat hate and intolerance on our campus."
The Chancellor's discretionary funds include $100,000 for additional staff and training at the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Resource Center, which was marked with anti-gay graffiti.
Another $30,000 will go to the Campus Council on Community and Diversity to address a variety of programs, including those on the Holocaust and anti-Semitism. About half a dozen swastikas were either spray-painted or etched at various campus locations, including on a Jewish student's dorm room door. No one has been arrested in connection with the vandalism.
