African American Students Allegedly Responsible for Racist Drawing at SU

university website

Salisbury University officials say it was African American students who were involved in a recent racist drawing on the campus.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports that the university confirmed the students were black but did not release their names citing federal law.

The image was discovered in the Blackwell Library on April 10th of a stick figure being hung accompanied by a racial slur.

It also had "#whitepower" underneath.

University spokesman Richard Culver said the matter was handed over to the university which will look at whether it violated any school policy.
