A Slippery Rock University organization is concerned about rainbow signs left tattered on the ground over the weekend.

The President's Commission on Gender Identity & Expression and Sexual Orientation (GIESO) posted photographs of two signs that are torn, broken and flattened.

The GIESO is an SRU organization that advocates for LGBTQ rights on campus.
