“This is the normal.”
"Trump" was scrawled on the door of a Muslim prayer room at New York University on Nov. 9.
The incident at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering was reported by the NYU Muslim Students Association (MSA).
The day after Trump was elected president, a Muslim student making his way to the prayer room found "Trump" scribbled across the front of prayer space door, Afraz Khan, the president of NYU MSA, told BuzzFeed News.
"Our campus is not immune to the bigotry that grips America," the MSA said in a Facebook post.
The incident was reported to university officials who Khan said were doing a "wonderful job in supporting us."
In the wake of the vandalism, the MSA organized a rally and called on fellow students "to show support that fear and intimidation have no place on our campus."
Within 24 hours, more than 1000 people signed up as supporters "to denounce this hate," Khan said.
"Nothing like this has happened before at NYU and we pray this is the first and last incident," he said.
