During the middle of the night on Wednesday, approximately 30 masked student protesters at the University of Michigan placed a fake corpse wrapped in bloody sheets in front of the private home of a university official. The protesters, identified as anti-Israel activists, seemed to target at least five members of the university's Board of Regents, who serve as the institution's board of directors. This incident has been described by the university as a significant and dangerous escalation.
Prior to fleeing from the police, the students engaged in a march, chanting, and affixing lists of demands on the doors of the regents, as per an official university statement. Ring camera footage from the official's house captured a masked individual approaching the door and taping a list to it. The official discovered the incident around 6 a.m. when colleagues reported similar protest activities at their homes around 4:40 a.m.
