Hate incident at Drexel University fits an all-too-familiar pattern
Dave Huber - Assistant Editor •March 8, 2019
Late last month, Philadelphia’s Drexel University played host (allegedly) to an all-too familiar scene on college campuses these days: a racial slur written on a dormitory door.
Near the end of February, an African-American freshman discovered the slur and posted a photo of it on Snapchat. According to the Drexel student paper The Triangle, the photo was reposted numerous times, and eventually a protest sit-in was organized a few days later.
Approximately 100 students gathered at Drexel’s Main Building for the “silent†demonstration, in opposition to Drexel “failing its black students.†You see, Drexel President John A. Fry had failed to use his powers of clairvoyance to prevent the racist incident from occurring, and, as such, his email to the school community regarding the matter did not “do the situation enough justice.â€
