U-M Provost's Home Vandalized Amid Campus Protests

The home of University of Michigan Provost Laurie McCauley in Ann Arbor was vandalized with graffiti featuring phrases like 'Free Palestine,' 'Divest,' and 'No Honor in Genocide,' as well as damage from an object thrown through a window. This incident is part of a series of vandalism acts targeting university officials amid tensions over the Israel-Hamas conflict. The Ann Arbor Police Department, with assistance from the university's police, is investigating the case and seeking public assistance for information or surveillance footage. The vandalism reflects ongoing campus protests and criticisms regarding the university's business ties with companies supporting Israel. Similar acts have occurred previously, including vandalism at the home of U-M Regent Jordan Acker and other university leaders. No injuries have been reported, and police have yet to release information on potential suspects.
