The Song Incident 

A comment on my last posts inspired me to put up a few lines from the article about the students that were removed from a residence hall for racially insensitive music. I'll link to the article itself at the end, but it may require (free) membership for viewing. Here's the basic story from the DO:

"At about 3 a.m., a black resident heard three freshman girls in her neighbor's room playing music that featured derogatory lyrics and making derogatory comments considered racially offensive, said Kevin Morrow, an SU spokesman. The girls were singing along with the song's chorus, which repeated a racial slur many times, the resident said. Later in the morning, the same student overheard a conversation that was offensive in nature toward black people and little people. Overall, the incident lasted one hour and 14 minutes, she said...The university regards this incident as a violation of the student code of conduct because the students' actions could be considered threatening to the mental state of others...'We tend to see a fair number of cases of bias-related activity because first-year students aren't used to exposure to cultures different from their own,' Morrow said..."

I hope I'm legally allowed to post that much of it. Here's the link to the entire article
