According to Milton's Deputy Police Chief James O'Neil, the person responsible for the graffiti could face criminal charges and a penalty of one year in prison or a fine of up to $1,000.

"We just hope they can unite as a campus and, you know, move forward," O'Neil said.

Burke said police and the campus community were notified about the message. Milton police found no immediate threat, but they are looking into it with campus police.

"Curry College is highly committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and bias-free environment for our students, faculty, and staff and we are taking this incident very seriously," the school said in a statement Friday.
