Dear UWM Community, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

UWM was alerted to email messages directed to a student organization that included intimidating and hostile language regarding Palestinians. UWM strongly denounces these anti-Palestinian, anti-Arab and Islamophobic messages and any behavior based in Islamophobia or that targets people or communities because of their national origin or ancestry. UWM is investigating and continuing to monitor campus. Every student, employee and community member must feel safe and welcome on our campus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

UWM takes hostile and intimidating messaging seriously. While hateful speech is often legally protected by the First Amendment, it conflicts with the respect and conduct we ask of each member of our community.\u202fWhere hostile speech is not protected by the First Amendment, UWM will address it through appropriate processes, once any individuals responsible are identified.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dean of Students Office has reached out to provide support to the impacted campus organization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any member of the campus community can request support from the UWM Police Department. Download the\u202fRave Guardian app<\/a>\u202fto receive emergency alerts and to text directly with the UWMPD and connect with UWM Police resources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
