S outhern O regon U niversity R esponds to R ecent H ate C rimes In recent weeks, there have been an unprecedented number of reports of discrimina tion and hate crimes on the Southern Oregon University campus in Ashland. There was an apparent hate crime of intimidation and threat that occurred off campus and then on campus in the early morning hours of April 30. Hateful fliers have been placed in a resi dence hall, on an automobile and in mailboxes and on doors of Stevenson Union offices. These fliers are targeting a particular candidate of student government elections. The fliers have caused much disturbance on campus and in the community. President Elisabeth Zinser led a press confer ence May 27 to address these incidents and answer questions. State Sen. Alan Bates, D-Ashland, attended, and Reps. Peter Buckley, D-Ashland, and Sal Esquivel, R-Medford, deliv ered messages through live telecast. “The mindless hatred expressed in the fliers is clearly unacceptable to SOU and our com munity as a whole,” Buckley noted. “I am proud to stand together with the students, staff, facul ty and administration of SOU to make that point. A threat to any of our students or a threat to any resident of our city can be met with only one response: zero tolerance.”
