Anti-Semites swabbed a Nazi swastika in a Columbia University bathroom, two days after a noose was found on a black professor's door. University president Lee Bollinger said the swastika has been removed. The incident occurred two weeks after Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad addressed the university.

The Nazi symbol was accompanied by a drawing on a bathroom door of a man wearing a skullcap (kippa). Bollinger said police are investigating.
