Two cards with messages implying a need to return to a more "white" America were found today at Eastern Michigan University. They carry a logo of "Alt-Right" and links to websites associated with that movement.
A police investigation is underway after the cards where found at King and Sherzer Halls. EMU spokesperson GeoffLarcom says they can't confirm nor deny if security cameras captured any activity over the holiday weekend because of the ongoing investigation.
"We condemn any and all acts that seek to spread messages of hate and divisiveness."
An investigation is also still underway for racist graffiti that was found on campus last year.
The Black Student Union says they want to work with the university to make sure this doesn't happen again.
