AU Statement on Social Media Post that Glorified Violence

Statement by Matt Bennett, Vice President and Chief Communications Officer

American University condemns the glorification of terrorism in a student organization’s social media post. Promoting or condoning terrorism and violence, including by depicting the image of a known terrorist or other offensive images in a post, is wrong and unacceptable. The post does not represent American University or its values.
