Purdue President France Córdova sent a letter to the campus community criticizing negative graffiti.
A tree near the Class of 1950 building was painted Tuesday morning with the words "Fuck Obama," Purdue Police are investigating the graffiti.
"Such conduct is reprehensible and wholly out of character with Purdue's long tradition of fellowship," Córdova said, in her letter.
She went on to say that inclusiveness, generosity, and appreciation of diverse cultures are values
that should be synonymous with Purdue.
"The incidents call on us to renew our commitment to these values and to our common bond."
