Western Kentucky University police are investigating a complaint that threatening notes containing racist language were found in a school employee’s office.
Michelle Jones is the assistant dean of the University College.
The WKU College Heights Herald reports Jones says she found three separate messages that appeared to be slid underneath the door of her South Campus office. Jones says the documents were typed and targeted her for being African-American.
A WKU Police sergeant told the paper the department is conducting an investigation, and plans to interview employees who work near Jones’ office to see if they saw anything related to the messages.
Jones says she hopes whoever is responsible for the threatening notes is found and punished.
She says it’s important for the school to send a message that the kinds of language and threats made in the notes won’t be tolerated.
