In January and again on April 3, vandalism and stickers promoting the Patriot Front, a known white nationalist hate group, were found on multiple campuses in the Tri-State. At NKU, the Norse Commons rock, a symbol of the student body often decorated by students, was vandalized with spray paint. Most recently, the rock was decorated by Black student organizations and painted with different Black faces; the faces were spray painted over with X's and the stenciled logo of the Patriot Front also appeared on the rock.
