BURLINGTON, Vt. — Officials at the University of Vermont and St. Michael’s College say they are investigating white supremacist signs and stickers that are being posted around the colleges’ campuses.The University of Vermont said last week that signs defending white privilege were posted in a campus display managed by its Mosaic Center for Students of Color. The Burlington Free Press reports St. Michael’s President Jack Neuhauser says officials are investigating similar signs at his college.
