The Washington Post reports:
It was the Facebook post heard across the Ivy League, if not the entire country.
On Halloween, Yale undergrad Neema Githere wrote that black friends of hers had been turned away from a fraternity party because it was for “white girls only.”
That accusation, combined with an administrator’s controversial email encouraging “offensive” costumes, ignited a firestorm of debate over racism on campus.
Students confronted the administrator and her husband who also holds an administrative post at the undergrad college, and then they confronted Yale College’s first African American dean. They packed protests at the prestigious university by the hundreds, using bullhorns to demand more diversity on campus and that the school rename buildings after people of color, rather than proponents of slavery.
There's more:
Now, more than a month later, Yale has finally released the findings of an investigation into the incident that set off the soul-searching series of events: the so-called “white girls only party.”
The verdict?
That the party might not have been racist after all.
No evidence, just a reminder the next time someone yells racism on campus.
