University of Parma, a swastika appears on the door of a professor.

The University of Parma has denounced the appearance of a Nazi swastika on the door of a professor's office in the Feroldi building, which houses the Department of Sciences and Economic and Business Studies. The university senate and administration unanimously approved a motion condemning the act, calling it an 'unacceptable provocation' and an 'intimidating and oppressive attitude incompatible with the founding values of the University of Parma.' The use of a symbol associated with Nazi ideology was deemed an offense not only to the involved professor but to the entire academic community. Minister Anna Maria Bernini called the rector to express solidarity and condemned the act as a grave intimidation that offends the values of freedom, respect, and civil coexistence. She emphasized the need to reject any gesture of hatred or intimidation with maximum firmness. President Laura Ramaciotti of the Italian Universities Rectors' Conference also expressed support, affirming that universities must remain places of freedom, dialogue, and democracy.
