Florida State University is actively addressing an altercation between two students that has been widely shared on social media. The FSU Police Department has interviewed the students shown in the video. The matter is being reviewed for potential criminal charges and for charges under the FSU Student Code of Conduct. While this process is underway, the student shown prominently in the video has been prohibited from returning to campus.
Our commitment to swiftly and effectively responding to incidents of hate is unwavering. We appreciate the prompt report of this incident, which allowed us to address this instance of antisemitism without delay.
Florida State University strongly condemns antisemitism in all forms and follows Florida law, which protects Jewish students and employees from discrimination motivated by antisemitism, harassment, intimidation, and violence.
Support services have been offered to the victim on an immediate and ongoing basis. Other students who need supportive resources are encouraged to reach out to the university’s Counseling and Psychological Services Department (counseling.fsu.edu) or to the Department of Student Support and Transitions (dsst.fsu.edu).
