HARRISBURG, Pa. – A hate group is currently protesting at the Harrisburg Campus at HACC, Central Pennsylvania’s Community College.
 
The group has been directed to the free speech area on the campus. Additional security personnel are on campus to keep students, employees and visitors safe.
 
This group has been known to incite violence.
 
All students and employees have been asked to please remain aware, use sound judgment and to not engage with this group. The safety of our students, employees and visitors is our top priority. 
 
“It is unfortunate that we have to deal with these types of matters in 2018. However, the HACC community will remain strong and united – especially in the face of adversity,” said HACC President John J. “Ski” Sygielski.
 
This hate group’s expected visit is temporary. The College’s core values and commitment to ALL students are permanent.
