Detroit Free Press: Dean calls noose found at University of Michigan hospital ‘symbol of hate’

Law enforcement authorities at the University of Michigan are investigating the discovery Thursday of a noose at University Hospital.

In a message to faculty and staff, Marschall Runge, dean of the University of Michigan Medical School, executive vice president for Medical Affairs and CEO of Michigan Medicine, said the “symbol of hate and discrimination” was found at the workstation of two employees.

“We have taken immediate action to have this investigated as both an act of discrimination and a criminal act of ethnic intimidation,” Runge said. “This act of hate violates all of the values that we hold dear and will not be tolerated.”

Heather Young, public information officer for the university’s Division of Public Safety and Security, said an employee found the noose at 11:25 a.m. on a desk in a staff area at the hospital.

“There (are) some leads that we have” in the investigation, she said Friday night. No further details were released.
