In the midst of the Blue Devils basketball team practicing in anticipation of Saturday’s Final Four game against Michigan State and Coach K being blasted on CNN for not commenting on Indiana’s controversial Religious Freedom Restoration Act, the institution is dealing with yet another incident on campus.
A noose was found hanging outside of a building on Duke’s campus that houses several diversity offices centered about diversity and equality. Carolina Blitz has more details on the story, but the University’s president has already issued a statement denouncing the action.
“I can’t begin to describe the disgust and anger I felt, and still feel,” Moneta wrote. “Though it has since been removed, the photos are everywhere and its hateful message will sadly pervade and persist for a long time.”
With happenings like this, the one at Oklahoma and the thousands of others that happen daily on college campuses around the country…what were people saying about us living in a post-racial society again?
Duke University and student leaders have scheduled a forum for Wednesday evening on the steps of the Chapel. Speakers will include President Richard Brodhead.
