ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) - The Jewish Federation of Greater Rochester's president and CEO Meredith Dragon is responding to the first court appearance for the four suspects charged after ‘wanted’ posters reportedly targeting Jewish faculty were found around campus. Dragon previously called for the vandalism reported across the U of R's campus to be investigated as a hate crime. She said the agency, and the Jewish community at large, will need to look closely at how the legal system processes the case. Dragon also said she’s grateful to the university and law enforcement for taking 'swift action' to arrest the suspects allegedly responsible. After hundreds of these 'wanted' posters were found across the U of R's campus, Dragon said it sparked outrage and fear for the Jewish community nationwide. Officials called the posters antisemitic in nature. As the case unfolds in the weeks and months to come, Dragon backs the stance that this incident was a hateful act. She also reacted to the charge delivered for the suspects. "Felony criminal mischief is a serious charge, and frankly, the prosecutors have used that charge because they feel like that's what's most relevant in this case. While this may not be treated as a hate crime, I think what was done was a hateful act and it caused unnecessary upset, panic, and danger in a sense through the university system and that's serious," said Dragon. At the end of a statement released Tuesday evening by U of R president Sarah Mangelsdorf, she said, "I am certain that as we move forward, we will all find ways to recommit ourselves to demonstrating the values that make our university the true community that we aspire it to be."
