A University of Delaware student, who has since been banned from campus, now faces three misdemeanor charges, including Hate Crime, after vandalizing a Holocaust memorial sponsored by a Jewish student group and going on an antisemitic tirade officials said Monday.
On the evening of May 8, officers from the University of Delaware Police Department arrested Jenna Kandeel, 23, after witnesses reported that she had damaged several flags at a Holocaust memorial on the UD Green and made vulgar statements about the Jewish community and the Holocaust. Kandeel later admitted the vandalism to police officers who took her into custody officials said.
Kandeel is charged with Hate Crime, Criminal Mischief, and Disorderly Conduct, all of which are misdemeanors.
