Scripps College's student president says she alerted campus police after "#trump2016" was found scrawled on a dorm room door, calling it "racist … violence," according to an email she sent to the campus community, a copy of which was circulated Saturday on social media.

"This morning, a Mexican-American Scripps student woke up to find her whiteboard vandalized with the phrase '#Trump 2016,'" Minjoo Kim, student body president, said in her March 26 email.

"This racist act is completely unacceptable," Kim continued. "Regardless of your political party, this intentional violence committed directly to a student of color proves to be another testament that racism continues to be an undeniable problem and alarming threat on our campuses."



Kim refers to the fact that Scripps College, a women's college, is part of the Claremont Colleges, a consortium of five undergraduate liberal arts colleges in Southern California.

Kim's email went on to say "campus safety has been notified and we hope to find the person responsible so they can be held accountable for their actions. … Mental and emotional health of our students are our top concern."

The consortium's Campus Safety Department is staffed with a lieutenant and six sergeants, among other officers who respond to campus emergencies.

"Actions and words have consequences," Kim wrote to conclude her email. "Think before you act."
