An Islamic student center at Rutgers was broken into and vandalized early Wednesday morning, and the intruder or intruders smashed religious items and TVs and ripped down a Palestinian flag, according to a chaplain at the school.

An email alert from Rutgers University said campus police were investigating “a burglary, criminal mischief, and bias crime,” which reportedly occurred overnight, around 4:30 a.m. Wednesday morning. Jonathan Holloway, the university’s president, said in an email to students that the incident was “an affront to our values as a community.”Holloway said, “Hate has no place at Rutgers. Islamophobia and all forms of intolerance come from a place of ignorance.
