CHICAGO — Two Jewish students were attacked on the campus of Catholic-run DePaul University in Chicago Nov. 6, and the school’s president said he was “appalled” by the incident. The attack was part of a wave of anti-Jewish hostility in the Chicago area in recent weeks. DePaul’s president, Robert Manuel, said in a letter dated the same day to faculty and staff, “We are outraged that this occurred on our campus. It is completely unacceptable and a violation of DePaul’s values to uphold and care for the dignity of every individual.” He said the DePaul students were punched multiple times and “sustained physical injuries but declined medical treatment.” (OSV News)
