The University of New Haven is investigating whether any of its students were involved in the events in the US Capitol riot last week after receiving complaints about social media posts.
In a letter to the community, university President Steven Kaplan condemned the violence and said that school officials would be investigating social media posts that have been reported to them. The unlawful action of those in Washington, D.C. who committed these acts, are, in a word, shameful. They are not rooted in patriotism, passion for our country, nor civil disobedience. These individuals are trying to intimidate, instill fear, and threaten our democracy. This will not – and should never – be tolerated, Kaplan wrote.
