Racial Tensions Erupt at Ithaca
A series of racially charged incidents and student protests have roiled Ithaca College. One incident involved two alumni referring to a third, a black woman, as “the savage” at a college event after she said, “I had this savage hunger” to build a successful career. Another involved an unaffiliated fraternity that encouraged students to wear “’90s thuggish style” clothing and “bling” to a party.
