Temple University Hate Crime

Police issued arrest warrants Monday for four Temple University students charged with beating a man outside the former location of a Jewish fraternity, and categorized the attack as a hate crime.

Investigators said the students used anti-Semitic slurs during the beating Feb. 15 outside the former Alpha Epsilon Pi house. The chapter of the international Jewish fraternity moved recently to a new location.

The victim, who wasn't a Temple student, was seriously hurt, school officials said.

The four students were suspended. School officials said they were awaiting results of the police investigation before deciding whether to expel them.
