Updated at 7 p.m. Thursday: Revised to include additional details, statement from the university.

Fliers posted around Texas State University threaten to "arrest and torture" university leaders who are in favor of diversity.

University police are investigating the fliers but provided no further information, the Austin American-Statesman reported.

An employee and student at Texas State told the Statesman that several of the fliers have been found around the San Marcos campus.

It's unclear whether there was any true threat, but one flier pictures five men in camouflage, some armed, standing in front of a fluttering American flag. The photo is apparently a screenshot from a 2007 comedic YouTube series called "Vigilantes."

The flier appears to be from supporters of President-elect Donald Trump.

"Now that our man TRUMP is elected and republicans own both the senate and the house — time to organize tar & feather VIGILANTE SQUADS and go arrest & torture those deviant university leaders spouting off all this Diversity Garbage ," the flier reads.

Another flier proposes turning the Rio Grande River into a moat full of alligators, snakes and piranhas, with webcams so viewers can watch the "gladiator spectacle of illegal messicans try to rush the wall only to get stanched and eaten by predators."

A third flier criticizes diversity as "a [expletive] theory" that "tries to convince us that quality no longer matters."

"NO OTHER RACE (BUT WHITES) HAS BENT OVER BACKWARDS to assure that all non-white races receive a 'fair shake' in being a part of American life, even to the detriment and social well-being of 'our own kind' (whites)," the flier states. " 'Multiculturalism' and 'diversity' are code-words for white genocide."

Texas State University President Denise Trauth urged "constructive dialogue" in a letter posted about 6 p.m. Wednesday. The letter did not mention the fliers.

"Our country has been through one of its most contentious presidential elections ever, and people of all backgrounds are experiencing different emotions," she said. "As Bobcats our aim should be to better understand that which causes divisions among us and to work toward strengthening our bond as a university community."

But in a second letter sent Thursday afternoon, Trauth addressed the fliers head-on saying that actions such as posting them to bathroom mirrors "amounts to criminal activity," and threats should be reported to university police.

Some of the university's core values include "diversity of people and ideas, a spirit of inclusiveness, a global perspective, and a sense of community as essential conditions for campus life," the letter said.

Officials at Baylor University on Thursday confirmed that a student had been pushed by another student and was subjected to racially offensive language the previous day on campus.

The school said in a prepared statement that it had reached out to the victim and was working with her to ensure her safety.

"We are a caring, Christian community in which acts of violence and insensitivity have no place. As Baylor Bears, it is our responsibility to care for and treat each other with love, compassion and dignity. Any behavior short of this demands our full attention so that we can hold each other accountable while seeking to reconcile and restore damaged relationships," said Kevin P. Jackson, Ph.D., vice president for student life.

At Southern Methodist University, faculty leaders reminded students that they're committed to making all students feel welcome on campus, no matter how they voted.

"We want to be ever-inclusive," said Jeanne Stevenson-Moessner, president of SMU's Faculty Senate and a professor in the Perkins School of Theology.

The Senate wrote an open letter to students Wednesday reminding them of a resolution the Senate passed in February - in response to racial tensions on campus - saying faculty would work to make SMU a safe, diverse and inclusive environment.
