From NBC New York:

Campus police at an upstate New York college say they’re investigating the posting of racist signs in two buildings at the school.

A sign reading “Colored only’’ was found posted over a drinking fountain in the Humanities Building at the State University of New York at New Paltz, 65 miles south of Albany, reports The Times Herald-Record of Middletown.

The sign was found Nov. 8. The newspaper reports that three other similar signs were found in a dormitory later that week.

SUNY New Paltz President Donald Christian has sent memos to students and faculty decrying the incidents. He is also proposing a Nov. 30 forum to discuss the racist incidents.
