SOMERS - Officials at University
of Wisconsin-Parkside are promising quick action against
anyone responsible for recent hate crimes on campus.
University officials say a
person found a noose made of rubber bands in a common area
of a suite Wednesday night at Pike River Suites, one of the
residence halls on campus.
In a second incident Thursday
morning, a note was left near the door of the person who
reported the noose.
Thursday evening, students
reported finding fliers that threatened black students.
Cindy Graham, interim dean of
students, tells The Journal Times the incident was racially
motivated. She notes that Wednesday was the kickoff of black
history month on campus.
Graham says if the suspect is
a Parkside student, that person would likely be expelled if
caught.
