Northeastern University officials are meeting today (June 17, 2019) with a graduate student after he reported finding paper questionnaires inside a campus library book that included references to Hitler, had a link to an alt-right blog, and asked readers to indicate their areas of interest in fascist topics, according to the MSN website.
"We are aware and the head of our library system is in contact with the student who found the materials," Renata Nyul, a university spokeswoman, said.
Matt Bowser, 28, who is pursuing a doctorate in history at Northeastern, said he was researching fascist movements of the 1930s for his dissertation at the university's Snell Library -- the largest college library in Boston -- when he discovered 10 questionnaires inside Robert Paxton's "The Anatomy of Fascism."
The cover of the questionnaires was titled Northeastern University European Resistance. One page had a series of questions which invited participants to indicate their "areas of interest," including Alt-Right, Fascism, Trump, White Genocide, Immigration, and International Jewry.
