The Middlesex County Prosecutor’s office is investigating a prank perpetrated on a Jewish fraternity house on Rutgers University’s New Brunswick campus during a Yom HaShoah program as a bias incident. The university community and administration have widely condemned the building being “egged,” apparently anti-Semitic act.
There were no eyewitnesses. Rutgers police, which is investigating, confirmed there is no security footage of the vandalism at the Alpha Epsilon Pi (AEPi) fraternity house on Sicard Street.
The incident occurred during a 24-hour reading of the names of Holocaust victims and was first reported in the student newspaper, the Daily Targum. It drew a swift response from other students and university officials.
