YPSILANTI, Mich. (AP) — Eastern Michigan University officials are condemning and investigating the spray-painting of racist messages and slurs on a wall in a campus courtyard.
The Ann Arbor News and Detroit Free Press report the graffiti was discovered early Tuesday on the Ypsilanti campus. It included the letters “KKK” — an apparent reference to the Ku Klux Klan — and another message including a racial epithet.
Eastern Michigan President James Smith said in a statement that the university “strongly condemns such a racist and thoughtless act.” Smith adds that he hopes nearby security cameras will provide evidence.
The graffiti has been removed.
