GREENSBORO, N.C. (WGHP) — “Several” areas of a Triad college campus were hit with “political” vandalism, according to a spokesperson for the university.

North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University representatives say that the university’s police department spotted someone wearing all black, with their face covered, walking on campus.

They believe this person vandalized university signs and buildings, and the university says some of the messages were “political in nature.” Most of the vandalism has been removed and any necessary repairs are underway.
