On the morning of November 7, an act of vandalism was discovered in the Red House, W&L’s on-campus LGBTQ Resource Center. Spray paint-graffiti was found on an inside wall and a door. 

The exact words used in the graffiti were erased, and have not been released to the public.

In an email to students, President Dudley asked the W&L community to support the “LGBTQ+ students, faculty and staff whose facility was targeted in [the] incident” and stated that “there is no place for harassment, intimidation, or vandalism at Washington and Lee.”

Public Safety requested that the Lexington Police Department conduct an investigation. Due to the nature of the ongoing investigation, the LPD declined The Spectator’s request for further information on the matter.

This is a developing story. The Spectator will provide updates as more information is made available.
