UW-Oshkosh officials say they are investigating after racist messages and hateful images involving UW-Oshkosh students surfaced overnight on social media.  Officials  are investigating a sign in an off-campus home that said liberals, Jews, Muslims, gays and Hmong people aren’t wanted.  A university spokeswoman said officials became aware of a photo of the sign Thursday circulating on social media. A Twitter user who posted that photo posted another of a swastika hanging on a wall during a party at what she said was the same house.  Chancellor Andrew Leavitt sent a campus-wide email saying the school was aware of “racist messages and hateful symbols involving our students.”    An open forum was held Friday on campus to discuss the images.
