An unnamed professor at Harvard University received an anonymous note on her office door that wished her “ill” and expressed racist views, President Lawrence Bacow and Claudine Gay, Edgerley Family Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Harvard, said in a message to the campus Friday. The faculty member was returning to the office with graduate students when she found the note, which "insulted her ethnicity and immigrant status," the statement said, according to NBC Boston. No additional details were available, but Bacow and Gay said that such acts attempt to "corrode the trust and respect that is essential to the open exchange of ideas." A dozen professors and staff members at Wake Forest University working in diversity-related fields received anonymous hate emails earlier this month.
