A recent act of vandalism of the KSU Memorial Bench dedicated to victims of domestic violence and femicide has left the UM community shocked.
The victims' names on the bench which is located next to the UM Library, were covered by black spray paint.
The University's Equity Office together with the Gender Equality and Sexual Diversity Committee requested an investigation into the incident, while they said "acts like this are completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated."
KSU issued a statement Tuesday evening, condemning the "disgusting act of violence".
It is being planned for the bench to be repainted by the beginning of the academic year.
