ANN ARBOR, MI -- In chalk, the messages "#Stop Islam" and "Trump 2016" appeared on the University of Michigan's Diag Wednesday.

A U-M student tweeted a photo of the chalkings on March 30.

University spokesman Rick Fitzgerald said attacks on a group within the community is inconsistent with U-M's values of respect, civility and equality.

"We all understand that where speech is free it will sometimes wound," he said. "But our message is this: We are fully committed to fostering an environment that is welcoming and inclusive of everyone.

"Tonight we are reminded there is much work yet to be done."

University police responded to the Diag Wednesday evening and documented the chalkings, said Diane Brown, U-M Division of Public Safety and Security public information officer.

"We will continue to monitor campus and work with our campus partners to ensure our students have a safe environment to live, learn and dialogue," she said.

Late Wednesday evening, someone had washed the chalk message away.

The Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations spoke out against the messages, and encouraged anyone with information to contact U-M's Division of Public Safety and Security.

"We are concerned that these recent anti-Islam and anti-immigrant messages are creating an environment in which some students, teachers and other university faculty members feel unsafe on campus," said Dawud Walid, the council's executive director.
