Administrators at California’s Stanford University said they are investigating “two cords with loops that may represent nooses” found hanging on campus, and encouraged those disturbed by the discovery to seek mental health counseling.

The items in question were found in a tree along a walking trail on early Monday morning, reported student newspaper The Standford Review, citing an email sent to students, faculty, and staff from Dean of Students Mona Hicks and Vice Provost for Institutional Equity, Access, and Community Patrick Dunkley.
