A driver threw a cup of beer at a student and shouted an anti-Semitic slur at him on campus on Saturday night, according to an email sent to the Brandeis community yesterday by University President Ron Liebowitz.

According to the email, the student reported to the University Police yesterday that the incident had occurred on Saturday night at approximately 11:30 p.m.

The student reported that the driver had stopped to ask him directions before shouting at him and speeding off down Loop Road.

The student reported that the individual was driving a dull red Range Rover. According to Liebowitz’s email, University Police are investigating and reviewing closed-circuit television film from around campus to look for a vehicle that matches the description. The email noted that the University is working with Waltham Police in investigating the incident and asked that anyone who saw a vehicle fitting that description reach out to University Police.

“No member of the Brandeis community — or any community, for that matter — should be subjected to such an act,” Liebowitz wrote. “It has been very discouraging to see an uptick in hate-fueled incidents around the country and on college campuses in the days following the election. We can and must stand up together as a campus community, disavow such acts and support each other in their wake.”

Racist and anti-Semitic hate crimes have been on the uptick since Donald Trump was elected president on Tuesday. The Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate crimes, has logged more than 200 complaints since the election, according to USA Today.
