A noose was spotted on a University of Delaware street a few weeks ago. A stray Halloween decoration? A hate crime? The police investigated, found out nothing and closed the case. UD, recently under fire for a coercive "diversity" program in its dorms, wants to reopen the case.
"There is no room for such actions in our community and the university will continue to enforce a zero-tolerance for hate," UD President Patrick Harker said in a statement. Harker met with more than 30 African-American students this morning to discuss reports of the noose and the students' concerns about the recent canceling of a residence life educational program.
Over at Colossus of Rhodey, Hube is suspicious.
See? In order to prevent this "epidemic" of noose hangings, UD MUST bring back its diversity program!
The story is so vague that it's not clear where the noose was seen or whether it was there when police investigated. I'd jump to no dire conclusions about a noose seen, allegedly, around Halloween.
Update: OK, it was a plastic bottle hanging by a rope from a tree. The university president says the important thing is that students feel threatened and intimidated.
Update: A toilet-paper noose has terrorized North Carolina State students.
