Governor Cuomo Directs Hate Crimes Task Force to Assist Investigation into Anti-Semitic and Anti-Black Graffiti Found on NYU Building

"I am appalled to see media reports of hateful anti-Semitic and anti-Black graffiti scrawled on the side of an NYU building. The fact that Rosh Hashanah begins tonight makes this bigoted graffiti all the more hurtful, as does the placement on a building dedicated to education. This is not who we are as New Yorkers and I am directing the New York State Police Hate Crimes Task Force to assist in the investigation immediately."
