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.”
