AMHERST, NY - Two On Your Side viewers got in touch with us on Thursday when they found an upsetting sight at Daemen College.

A whiteboard in the new veterans' lounge there was found with written messages stating,"Veterans are just students. Why do they get special treatment?" and "Daemen doesn't want you here."

There's another part we can't show on line.

College President Gary Olson says he was very upset by it and school officials are close to finding who's responsible.

"As you know, most colleges and even high schools nowadays have surveillance cameras. We're in the process of viewing that. We will know every single person that went in and out, and the perpetrators will be appropriately disciplined."

He added that Daemen College is listed as one of the most veteran-friendly campuses in the country.

On Sept. 16, BNHV and the Amherst Women’s Interclub Council unveiled many updates that were made to one of the museum’s 11 historic buildings located at 3755 Tonawanda Creek Road, Amherst. These updates were made with funds raised at the Interclub Council’s annual fundraising luncheon and raffle.
