Eastern Michigan University offers $5,000 reward for information on racist graffiti.

Eastern Michigan University is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of a person or people involved in two racist incidents which occurred on campus.

Two hate messages were spray-painted on the exterior of a campus building and a stairwell.

EMU said the FBI has joined the investigation.

“As I have said from the beginning of this investigation, we are committing the full resources of our university behind finding the people or persons involved,” said Eastern Michigan University President James Smith. “There is no place on Eastern’s campus for such hateful and intentional acts and we will continue to investigate until they are solved. These incidents have struck fear into many of our students and the most effective way for us to address this is by apprehending those responsible and ensuring they are punished to the fullest extent of the law.”

EMU said half of the reward amount is coming from a donor who wished to remain anonymous.

Anyone with information is asked to contact EMU police at 734-487-6895.
