Stanford University officials say an investigation is underway after multiple swastikas and an image of Adolf Hitler were found on a student's door last week.

In a letter sent to students Saturday, school officials said the images were discovered on a whiteboard attached to a student's door in one of its residence halls. The student residing in the room identifies as Jewish — as the university officials said the symbols may have been meant to intimidate the student, according to the letter.
