As we begin another academic year of promise and challenges, our campus community unfortunately experienced another incident of hate, this time directed at our Arab/Muslim community. The Third World Mural at the Memorial Union was defaced sometime on Sept. 29. This mural is made up of many images depicting the voices of many people of color on our campus.
