NEW YORK (CNN) -- A rally was planned for Wednesday afternoon at Columbia University to protest the discovery of a noose on the office door of an African-American professor.
Madonna Constantine is a professor of psychology and education at Columbia University's Teachers College.
1 of 2 The noose was found Tuesday at Columbia's Teachers College, said Joe Levine, executive director for external affairs at Teachers College.
The New York Police Department is investigating the matter as a hate crime.
The apparent target, Madonna Constantine, 44, is a professor of psychology and education at Teachers College. She co-wrote the book "Addressing Racism: Facilitating Cultural Competence in Mental Health and Educational Settings."
The noose apparently was placed on the office door sometime before 9 a.m. ET Tuesday, Levine said.
Police received a 911 call concerning the noose about 9:45 a.m. Tuesday. They were told it was on the fourth floor of Teachers College.
Security cameras monitor the entrance to the building, but there are none in the hallway where the noose was discovered, Levine added.
