The University of Rochester says four university students are facing charges after they allegedly helped plaster hundreds of antisemitic posters across the campus.

In a letter posted on the university's website, Chief Quchee Collins, associate vice president of public safety, says all four are charged with felony criminal mischief.

Collins says the U of R's Department of Public Safety is still investigating a fifth person of interest.

On Nov. 10, the university says hundreds of wanted posters featuring Jewish faculty members and administration were plastered across campus.

"While I regret that this deeply disturbing incident took place on our campus, I am incredibly satisfied that through a thorough investigation we were able to identify those who are allegedly responsible and hold them accountable for the deliberate and deplorable actions targeted toward members of our University community, including members of our Jewish population," Collins said in a statement.

Local groups and congressional leaders have spoken out against the posters while some students have raised concerns about antisemitism on campus.

Before they were removed, the school says the posters criticized those staff members for their alleged response to the war in Gaza and accused them of racism and hate speech.

The university says that after receiving feedback from various law enforcement authorities, it is their understanding that the suspect's actions don't meet the proper legal threshold to be charged as a hate crime.

This spring, the University of Rochester was one of many schools nationwide to see unsanctioned protests over the Israel-Hamas war. U of R administrators suspended some student demonstrators the university accused of repeatedly violating its peaceful protest policies.
