Former Eastern Michigan
University
student
Eddie
Curlin has been arrested as a
suspect for the series of racist
graffiti found on EMU’s campus
last year. The suspect, while
currently serving a sentence
involving stolen property, has
been charged with three counts
of identity theft and one count
for use of computers in order to
commit a crime, according to
WEMU.
During
September
2016,
graffiti found on the side of
King Hall included the letters
“KKK” and “Leave N****RS,”
according to the Detroit News.
The next day, a racist slur was
found written on a stairwell in
one of the campus dormitories.
One month later, more graffiti
was found — the words “Leave
N******” painted on the outside
walls of Ford Hall, another
EMU campus building.
Following
the
incidents,
EMU
President
Jim
Smith
stated a $10,000 reward would
be
offered
for
information
on
the
occurrences,
and
spoke of the administration’s
commitment to providing a
campus of inclusion.
“The deeper and systemic
issues that are behind these
incidents continue to be a focus
for our student leaders, our
faculty,
our
administration
and all who care about this
institution and the welfare
of our students,” Smith said.
“These incidents run counter
to the values and mission of the

University and our actions
over the past several weeks
and going forth have and will
continue to reflect that.”
In
January,
however,
protests erupted surrounding
the
University’s
response
to the incident, criticizing
Smith — who, protesters
claimed, had failed to take
further action on the issue.
These
protests
followed
three months of sit-ins, and
were met with backlash from
administration as students
were punished for refusing
to leave university buildings
after hours.
Curlin’s arraignment took
place
at
the
Washtenaw
County District Court and
he is currently being held by
the Michigan Department of
Corrections.
