Racist and anti-Semitic emails were sent to students at the University of Michigan late Tuesday night.
Campus police are now looking for whomever is responsible.The hateful e-mails were sent out to thousands of students.
The student newspaper, The Michigan Daily, says the emails had a university professor's name on them and were sent to students in the computer science and engineering school.
The emails are shocking.
The first two of three sent read, "Hi n*****s, I just wanted to say that I plan to kill all of you. White power! The KKK has returned!!! Heil Trump!!!"
And another email, "Hi you f****** filthy Jews, I just wanted to say the SS will rise again and kill all of your filthy souls. Die in a pit of eternal fire! Sincerely, Dr. Alex Halderman."
I condemn the hateful messages sent tonight. DPSS & ITS are investigating as spoofing/hacking. We will provide more info. as we have it. https://t.co/kx56BL4xz4

The Michigan Dailyreports the e-mails signed by that university were sent by three unique server names which point to the possibility that the server may have been hacked.
Dr. Halderman denied sending the emails, telling the student paper that as he teaches in his class, it takes very little technical work to forge a sender's address in an email.
