Stanford University hit-and-run victim shares message from hospital

A Stanford University student who was struck in a hit-and-run that authorities are investigating as a hate crime is calling on others to “collectively denounce hatred, bigotry, and violence.” Abdulwahab Omira shared the message Sunday from a hospital bed.

In response to the claim, Dee Mostofi, assistant vice president of external communications at the school, said the university issued a notice as soon as there was enough information from the California Highway Patrol to do so. Stanford President Richard Saller and Stanford Provost Jenny Martinez said in a joint statement Friday that they were “disturbed” about “potentially hate-based physical violence on our campus.” “Violence on our campus is unacceptable,” they said.
