The MSU Newman Catholic Campus Ministry Center's pastor found a lubricated condom on the doorknob center on Nov. 6, said Clifton police detective Capt. Robert Rowan. He said the incident occurred sometime between 9 and 10 p.m.

According to police reports, the priest told police the condom was found following campus-wide discussions on abortion and gay marriage.

Rowan said the priest considers the incident an attack on Catholic values.

"We are treating it as a biased crime and we, along with the campus police, are making periodic checks of that facility to be sure that no further incidents occur," Rowan said.

Condoms are distributed on campus to students.

The Newman Center's Web site reads: "College can be a stressful time... With so many things competing for your time and attention - as well as people who are challenging (and even rejecting) your beliefs, it can be hard sometimes..."

The Center, which is located on Valley Road, has been a part of the university for about 40 years, according to the Web site.
