They included a threat to shoot officers of the La Raza Student Assn. posted on the group’s Facebook page, and images of Adolf Hitler and the phrase “finish what he started” taped to doors and windows in the campus multicultural center, according to an article this week in the Daily 49er.

University President Jane Close Conoley, in an email to students and employees this week, said the incidents had been reported to the FBI and were being “aggressively investigated” by the Cal State Long Beach University Police Department.
