One incident occurred at NC State University, and there have been at least three incidents in the past week alone at Duke University.

The Duke Jewish Student Union came together Monday night to talk about their concerns.

"l feel like there's definitely been a big uptick in hate speech against all minority groups across college campuses, across the United States and it's definitely a worrying trend," said Duke student David Pfeiffer.

The stickers promote the neo-Nazi group Identity Europa.

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the group aims to recruit and transform young men into the new face of white nationalism.

The stickers were found just days after a red swastika was painted over a mural on Freedom Bridge honoring the 11 people killed in a mass shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue last month.
