Jewish group charges Kupchella won’t call graffiti image a swastika

GRAND FORKS — Members of the University of North Dakota’s Jewish Student Organization charged Thursday that the school’s president, Charles Kupchella, equivocated when presented with a cell phone photo of a swastika drawn in a stairwell of the West Residence Hall on campus. According to student Martin Rottler and JSO faculty advisor Jack Weinstein, Kupchella told the group he couldn’t be sure that the image they showed him was a swastika and would not use the word swastika for the remainder of the meeting.
