A “doxxing truck” sent by a conservative group arrived at the University of Colorado Boulder campus Tuesday displaying images and names of Ethnic Studies Department faculty members.

The truck was spotted outside the Hale Science building while showing headshots of faculty members under the headline “Boulder’s Leading Antisemites.”

The campaign is being run by the Accuracy in Media group, and similar trucks have been spotted at campuses across the country since November.

The campaign’s stop in Boulder comes after expressing support for Palestinians during the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. The statement was later retracted and replaced due to concerns about its accuracy.

Accuracy in Media, in a recent post on the social media site X, said the mobile billboards would be at six different college campuses this week, including CU Boulder. The campaign said, “Up next, our Antisemitism Accountability Campaign visited the Rocky Mountains, calling out the radical antisemites on campus.”

The Daily Camera is not publishing the names or images of the CU faculty members displayed on the truck.

CU Boulder issued a statement about the campaign on Tuesday.

“The University of Colorado Boulder condemns tactics designed to intimidate and threaten our students, faculty and staff,” the statement said. “Outside groups publicly attempting to shame CU community members is not a productive way to address the difficult conversations facing our society in a respectful and civil manner. We will continue to support all of our students, faculty, and staff and have provided resources to those who have been maliciously identified against their will.”

At other campuses, the truck has displayed the names of students and faculty who have expressed support for Palestinians. In November, showing the names and faces of students shortly after a lawsuit was filed by a Columbia student against the organization.

According to , the lawsuit alleged the organization created a website domain under the studentap full name falsely claiming that he was a “leader of an organization that signed a hateful, antisemitic letter.”
