Northwestern Students Protest Alleged Racial Mistreatment of University Employee

Northwestern University students marched Thursday to protest acts of racial mistreatment on campus, saying the tipping point was the mistreatment of Michael Collins, a university employee, who alleges he found a stuffed black bear hanging from a noose at his desk, Evanston Review reported. 

Several hundred students turned out at the protest and charged that there have been seven major racial events on campus among them, a party held by white students with racist costumes and two Asian-American women who were harassed by racial slurs, Evanston Review.
