Clemson University now has coverage of the Clemson student theme party, rife with offensive African-American stereotypes, first seen by us in The Daily Texan. At Macalester, a student in a Ku Klux Klan outfit attended a “politically incorrect” theme party leading a student in blackface on a noose. American University’s paper The Eagle reports that the FBI will be investigating an attack on three Palestinian Guilford College students by members of the Guilford College football team; the FBI is investigating in order to determine whether the attacks constitute hate crimes. An article from Guilford College discusses the community’s response to the crisis. Finally, an article from Boston College examines the recent plague of racially motivated incidents on campuses nationwide, focusing on the self-segregation that occurs at many American colleges and the fact that today’s technology can capture and disseminate racist encounters with new (and illuminating) ease.
