The Greeley Tribune reported that on December 15, an Instagram account called Jewish on Campus – an account that highlights anti-Semitism on college campuses – posted an allegation from an anonymous student stating, “Someone left a note on my door that said, ‘Jews created COVID-19 to subvert the white race.’ This note was covered with stickers of various Jewish caricatures. A bag of rat poison was taped to the bag.”
