Two homes owned by University of Michigan leaders were vandalized Monday on the one-year anniversary of the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas including the West Bloomfield home owned by President Santa Ono.

The messages at Ono’s home, were spray-painted in red on his house and sidewalk. They included “Coward,” “Divest now,” along with upside down triangles that has been used by pro-Palestinian supporters during the Israel-Hamas war, and “Intifada,” an Arabic word meaning uprising or resistance movement, according to photos reviewed by The Detroit News and confirmed by three UM regents.

The Chelsea home of Erik Lundberg, UM’s Chief Investment Officer, was also vandalized, regents said, but it was not immediately clear what the vandalism was.

UM spokeswoman Colleen Mastony confirmed the vandalism at Ono’s house, but directed questions about the investigation to West Bloomfield police.

Bloomfield Township police confirmed they are investigating the vandalism at Ono’s house, which happened around 4 a.m. Monday and was captured on surveillance cameras.

Nick Soley, the police department’s spokesman, said he is working with the Michigan Attorney General’s Office, the FBI and the Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office to investigate the crime and review evidence.

“Evidence has been turned over. There are multiple individuals who appear to be suspects at this time,” Soley said.

Soley said his department is in contact with West Bloomfield police, who are investigating a vandalism incident there.

FBI spokesman Jordan Hall confirmed the FBI is in the Bloomfield Township and West Bloomfield Township areas on Monday conducting law enforcement activity.

“This is yet another assaultive act of intimidation by the anti-Semitic mob that has attempted to intimidate and disrupt our university,” said UM Regent Mark Bernstein. “Thankfully, they have failed and will continue to fail. This must be condemned unequivocally. Failure to do so would be disgraceful and revealing.”

“It’s despicable,” added UM Regent Ron Weiser. “No matter what your position is on all of these issues, why do they think doing all this vandalism is going to change anything?”

Past chair Sarah Hubbard called the vandalism, “unacceptable.”

“We are going to do everything we can to figure out who did this and hold them accountable,” she said.

The vandalism at Ono’s house comes on the Oct. 7 anniversary of the Hamas attacks on Israel that killed an estimated 1,200 people; approximately 250 hostages also were taken.

In June, vandals also targeted the Southfield law office of a UM Regent Jordan Acker with spray-painted messages that included, “”Free Palestine,” and “Divest Now.”

It follows months of demonstrations and disruptions by UM students and their allies, who have demanded that the university divest from its portfolio any holdings linked to Israel since the country’s counteract have killed more than 41,000 Palestinians in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run Palestinian Health Ministry.
