University of Michigan regent says home targeted in antisemitic attack

“Anti-Semitic vandals” targeted the home of University of Michigan Regent Jordan Acker on Monday, the official announced in an Instagram post.

The individuals threw an object through a window of the home Acker shares with his wife and three daughters, as well as appeared to demand through a spray-painted message that the school divest from any companies associated with Israel, the regent said.

“While my eldest daughter ran into our room, frightened by the sound of breaking glass, I ran downstairs, saw the broken window, and then ran outside to find my wife’s car had been graffitied by anti-Semitic vandals,” the post reads.

Photos attached to the post show a broken window with glass shards on the windowsill and floor of the house. Acker also shared an image of a white car with the red-painted message “DIVES[T] FREE PALESTINE” and an upside-down triangle, a symbol often used by people supporting Palestine.
