According to Recckio [ed. president of Ithaca College’s Student Government Association], problems first surfaced during Residential Advisor training at the start of this year when RAs reported racial aggression by Public Safety officers.
At the training session, Officer Terry O’Pray reportedly stated that racial profiling does not occur at Ithaca College. Officer Jon Elmore showed RAs various weapons, and when he showed a black BB gun, he said he would shoot anyone he saw with one on campus, according to The Ithacan, Ithaca College’s student newspaper.
The second event involved two alumni who made racially insensitive remarks about another black alumna at a college event, Blue Sky Kickoff on Oct. 8, according to The Ithacan.
In an open letter to The Ithacan, Ithaca College Faculty wrote, “we were distressed and offended by the fact that one of the guest speakers, Tatiana Sy ‘09, was repeatedly called ‘the savage’ by another guest speaker, Chris Burch ‘76.”
Burch referred to Sy as “the savage” after she made a comment about her “savage hunger,” referring to her ambition.
The faculty pointed out that this phrase, which they said they found offensive, was also used by the moderator, Bob Kur ‘70.
“Although Burch and Kur seemed unaware of the racist and sexist implications of referring to Sy, who is African-American, in this way, others in the room were not,” the Ithaca College Faculty wrote.
The third and final event occurred on Oct. 9 when unaffiliated fraternity, Alpha Epsilon Pi, sent out Facebook invitations to their themed party, “Preps & Crooks.”
Daniella Resto ‘18 said in article in The Ithacan she felt that this theme and its suggested dress code represented an attack on the minority community.
Although Burch and Kur seemed unaware of the racist and sexist implications of referring to Sy, who is African-American, in this way, others in the room were not, the Ithaca College Faculty wrote.
This is some of the unintentionally funniest s*** I have ever seen. This is why Trump, and now Cruz, will be crushing everyone else. The emo emperors are nekkid!

Thanks. I thought this was supposed to be fixed last week but it’s still around.... I think it’s OFFENSIVE.... We need to find something we find offensive every week until they knock this stuff off....
