According to a Rider alumnus, a different student commonly made even stronger racial comments, as well as anti-semetic remarks. Matthew Volker, who graduated in May, 2007, repeatedly made statements about Blacks, calling them the "N" word, among others, such as "porch monkey," "shinebox," "reggins," and, "mau maus." He also made comments against Jews, calling them "Kikes." He stated that "Hitler was a great man," "The Jews were taking everyone's money and ruining the economy," and, "The collapse of the World Trade Center on 9/11 was because of the Jews." He also stated, "The Holocaust was a good thing, and that we need a final solution." Volker is a self proclaimed Nazi, and an admirer of Adolph Hitler.
Students who heard these remarks did not report his behavior, and in fact, some were quite upset when one student did make a report to Campus Security. The university president, who is a descendent of the Holocaust, was so upset, that he forwarded the report to the Lawrence Township Police Department. Ethan Lefkowitz, class of 2006, reported the incidents, and also said that Volker's remarks became increasingly hostile and were also aimed at him on the computer and the phone, as well as in person. In addition to making remarks about Blacks and Jews, he proceeded to make derogatory personal comments as well. Ethan is a member of the Jewish Community and a resident of Mercer County, New Jersey. He fears that these types of statements may damage his personal and professional credibility among students and alumni........................
