I am a transfer student Crom Qulocy

Two weeb ago, a student at Williams College wu suspended
Crom achoo! for the ranai.ndcr of the semester r111 placing racist
mataiab oo the door of the school's Black Studcnl Union office.
What maket this situat.ioo diffcrcn1 from many other racial
attacks ls that tbcswdentioquestion was black. Once he wascaugh1
in the acc. the tchool's administration quickly di5ciplincd him and
denounced the auacks u insensitive and unnecessary.
In his own defense, the student said he postod the racist m11crials
in an attempt 10 spar1c conve,sal.ion on campu~ abou t racism wd
prejudice.
Almost immcdia!ely following his suspension, 15 or his fo llow
students, some Crom the Black Studcnl Union, protested the suspcn•
sion,calling it too hush. Tbegroupthrca.tcncd IO leave school irthc
punishment wu not reduced or revoked.
1beir opinion wu shared by many other students. One student
told thc Boston Globe, -ibe Cact he is black shoukt be 1akcn into
consideration. I think the punishmcru is 100 severe."
Conversely, Olha students on I.he campus felt thc punishment.
wu just and appmprfa.tc. Another student said, "Williams is an
educational community that cail not tole.rate raci.u acts rrom anyone
