What occurred at Providence College was disgraceful.

Providence College’s campus provides our community with many benefits including green space and access to community programs; and to see their campus desecrated with symbols of hate is harmful and traumatic.

I am glad the vandal has been apprehended, and it is my sincere hope that he is able to access the help that he needs.

My family and I are wishing the security officer who was assaulted a speedy recovery.
