An undergraduate student at Duke University admitted to hanging a noose in a tree and has left campus while disciplinary actions are considered, university officials said Thursday.

School spokesman Michael Schoenfeld said at a news conference that the school would not release the name of the student who admitted to hanging the noose, found early Wednesday in a plaza at the heart of the campus. The person is still enrolled at Duke, but faces student conduct and law enforcement investigations.

Let's keep this story out of the Memory Hole. Short snip per AP requirement.

Whats the race of the student in question? Inquiring minds want to know.

Which ethnic minority and victim-baiting junta does the student belong to?

It looks like a jump rope. From the height of it, I think it was meant to frighten the vertically challenged.

answer = NON caucasian.....

Must be a member of a protected class or we’d know all about his race.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

My guess is a “social justice” major.

That CBS report is just awful, and bullsh-t - the only tension at Duke now is whether or not they will beat Michigan State in the Final Four.

This is a clear case of self inflicted faux racism.....

Translation:

The perp is not white and is not a Conservative.

Don’t tell me ........

Very safe bet.

A noose?

The only people that means anything to are race-baiting community-organizers.

Dollars to doughnuts it was a black student conducting a false-flag operation, and that's why the University will NEVER identify the perp.

Since the person has not been named, and has not been expelled from the university, it is safe to assume that he is a member of a cherished minority group.

i await the charges and the nationwide coverage that will follow...

yeah, right !

[pallis]

A redneck would find a better use for the rope.

School officials believe federal education laws protecting information about students and their grades prevent the school from describing the culprit's gender, race or whether the student had been in trouble in the past, Schoenfeld said.

Curious, especially about the school being prevented from describing the culprit's race.

If the student did commit a crime and if the student is at least 18 years of age, the student is an adult. If said adult actually committed a crime, based on statute, said culprit has no right to anonymity.

Hanging a noose in a tree is a crime?

[morphing libertarian]

One of them there hate crimes. Probably 25-life

In the 40,s and the 50, s half the boys in my elementary and junior high school would have been expelled. I even tied a noose in the Venetian blind cord once.
