The amount of white supremacist propaganda on college campuses
in the U.S. increased 258 percent between fall 2016 and fall 2017,
according to a report the Anti-Defamation League released Thursday.
There were 147 incidents of white supremacist flyers, banners, posters or stickers found on college campuses during the 2017 fall semester, the report states, compared to 41 such incidents in the fall semester of 2016.
The ADL counted a total of 346 incidents of hate propaganda that had been spread on 216 college campuses in 44 states and Washington, D.C., since September 2016.

The propaganda delivered “a range of messages,” according to the report.
