IN THE NEWS: BLACK PROFESSOR GREETED WITH NOOSE ON OFFICE DOOR
As I’ve recently written, it seems that nooses are all the rage now.
At about 9:30 a.m. yesterday, a Black Columbia University professor, Madonna Constantine, arrived at her office to find a noose hanging from the door. Police are investigating whether students hung the noose on Professor Constantine’s door. But, a rival professor (White) is also under suspicion because of recent tension between the two professors.
Students and professors at the university are looking into holding protests and town hall meetings in response the incident.
Police are investigating the incident as a hate crime.
