The Richmond Times-Dispatch detailed that the living arrangement lobby informal IDs of three understudies were destroyed a week ago in what college president Ronald Crutcher called demonstrations of prejudice.
Crutcher sent a grounds comprehensive email Jan. 24, after a dark understudy's entryway was damaged. The following day, Chief of Police Dave McCoy wrote to state there had been three occurrences, clearly spurred by "terrorising with a racial and national beginning premise."
The president portrayed the underlying go about as an "upsetting racial designation" in his Friday morning message to understudies. He called the occurrence "nauseating".
"A demonstration of bigotry against any of us on this grounds is a demonstration that insults we all, and all that we are focused on as a University people group," Crutcher said. "We won't endure individuals from our locale being focused on badgering dependent on their characters."
