UNC Sends Out Email Condemning Those Who Allegedly Hurled Objects At Campus Protesters
GREELEY, Colo. (CBS4) - The University Of Northern Colorado is fighting back after alleged attacks on a group of students.
Several people allegedly yelled racist insults and threw objects at students during a campus demonstration last month.
The students had been protesting the school's decision to suspend its Mexican-American Studies program.
UNC President Kay Norton sent out a campus-wide email condemning the attacks. It included the following statement:
I was extremely disappointed to learn that our students were treated so cruelly, and I want to make it very clear that we will not tolerate this type of behavior on our campus.
The attacks allegedly happened during a protest in mid-April on the Greeley campus.
The Mexican-American Studies program at UNC remains suspended while the school works on a plan to boost enrollment.
