Oklahoma Fraternity Racial Incident Just One Of Many As Campuses Grapple With Lingering Racism

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 03 Apr, 2015 02:38 PM
    COLLEGE PARK, Md. — College students and administrators are struggling to deal with racist incidents on campus despite repeated condemnations.
     
    This week alone, Bucknell University expelled three students for making racist comments during a campus radio broadcast, and Duke University said one of its students placed a noose in a tree on campus. Earlier, spray-painted swastikas and nooses were found at the State University of New York's Purchase campus, and a former University of Mississippi student was indicted for tying a noose on the statue of the university's first black student.
     
    National attention turned to the issue earlier this year after a University of Oklahoma fraternity was caught on video singing a racist chant.
     
    University administrators say they are working with students to confront racism, and are punishing perpetrators.
