KUWAIT CITY, Oct 26: Michigan State University has apologized for a photo of Adolf Hitler that appeared on the Spartan Stadium video board during a trivia quiz ahead of the football game against the University of Michigan on Saturday.

The image showed up on the screen as part of a question asked in the trivia quiz about where Hitler was born, according to footage shared of the incident on social media, CNN reported.

MSU Associate Athletic Director Matt Larson issued a statement released on Saturday apologizing on behalf of the school.

​​“MSU is aware that inappropriate content by a third-party source was displayed on the video board prior to the start of tonight’s football game,” Larson wrote. “We are deeply sorry for the content that was displayed, as this is not representative of our institutional values.

The statement continued, “MSU will not be using the third-party source going forward and will implement stronger screening and approval procedures for all videoboard content in the future.”

“I am deeply sorry for the image displayed at Spartan Stadium, which made many of our community feel alienated and unsafe. It was unacceptable,” Woodruff wrote. “I asked last evening for a full review of this university event and will take all necessary steps to align our messages and actions to our values.”

“I will work with our Jewish community and every member of minoritized populations to ensure Spartans feel that this is a place where everyone can live, work, go to class, and attend events that are welcoming,” the contents of the email concluded.
