A Canterbury University student made a post on the USCA Noticeboard Facebook group, saying they had found the posters on campus and warned students to keep a look out for them and rip them off if they come across any.
The posters encourage people to visit the webpage of a white supremacist group who wish “to build a new generation of capable, young white men who will assume the mantle of re-taking control of our own country.”
It has been reported that women, non-Europeans and non-heterosexual individuals are excluded from becoming members.
A Canterbury University spokeswoman said they had not come across any of the posters but would remove any discovered on campus.
Vice-chancellor Professor Cheryl de la Rey said the university will not tolerate racism or harassment of any kind.
This comes after University of Auckland vice-chancellor Stuart McCutcheon said the posters were “unfortunate” but the university would not be removing them.
This has led to more than 400 university staff signing an open letter declaring racism and white supremacy has no place on the campus.
