A&M INVESTIGATES RACIAL ATTACK
Officials at Texas A&M are conducting an investigation after a group of visiting high school students from inner-city Dallas say they were harassed.
Students visiting the A&M campus from Uplift Hampton Preparatory were touring the College Station campus, Tuesday.
The Batallion reports that two female high school students were taunted by a female A&M student wearing “Confederate Flag earrings.”
She was reportedly then joined by a group of male and female students who allegedly began taunting the students with obscene racial slurs and were told “go back where you came from.”
Texas A&M System Chancellor John Sharp reported the incident to State Senator Royce West.
According to West, the A&M Student Senate has passed a resolution condemning the incident.
University President Michael K. Young has issued a memo expressing outrage and disappointment.
