Two Columbia University students have been busted for allegedly scribbling swastikas on a dormitory wall in the latest racial incident to rock the Ivy League school.
Matthew Brown, 20, and Stephen Searles, 19, were charged with criminal mischief after students fingered them as the hands behind a hate crime in Ruggles Hall, police said.
The duo reportedly used red and blue markers to line a suite hallway with swastikas, homophobic slurs and racial epithets on Friday, students said. Four women live in the suite, including a lesbian and a student involved in an interracial relationship.
