University police are investigating a tagging incident on the University of Nevada campus. Swastikas and phrases such as "is this political enough?" were spray-painted on the "graffiti staircase" at the Church Fine Arts Building. The 3-story staircase was designated by the university in 2007 as a place for urban art. Michael Sarich, an associate professor of painting and drawing, called the stairwell
"a place of total freedom."
