How it was reported on at the time:

ALLENDALE, MI — Racial slurs written on a black Grand Valley State University student’s dorm room door show racial intolerance persists at the Allendale school, classmates said.

“It’s really stupid and immature,” said Briayanna Walker, a freshman nursing student, as she walked to class Wednesday, Feb. 19. “I thought we were all past that.” […]

In addition to the drawing of a person being hanged, the slurs also included hateful remarks written about Black History Month.

Donzelle Collins, a sophomore from Detroit, said the incident suggests the university still has ground to cover in building an inclusive campus.

He and others said black and minority students still make up a relatively small portion of the university’s overall student body. In fall 2012, 5 percent of GVSU students were black, according to federal data.

“It wasn’t a surprise, considering the area we’re in,” Collins said.

An emergency meeting was hosted Monday by the university’s chapter of the NAACP to discuss the incident. On Wednesday, students on campus said there was a strong turnout at the meeting.

Not-so-shockingly, it was the student herself who wrote the slurs.

The incident has had a disruptive impact on the community and as a result, the student has been referred to the Dean of Students for a student code violation. University policy does not permit the release of his/her name.
