RNA - A freshman at the University of New Mexico says another student tried to remove her hijab and implied she was a terrorist.
The Albuquerque Journal reports that the Muslim woman says she was in the university library on election day when a man in a Trump shirt came up behind her and tried to remove her hijab.
She says she reported the incident to UNM's Office of Equal Opportunity and provided a copy to the Journal.
UNM spokeswoman Dianne Anderson says the school can't confirm or deny the case but did say the office received several reports about "hate and bias incidents" over the past two days and will be investigating and responding to the reports.
