A mock jail philanthropy event at Northwestern University has been cancelled after students condemned the event for being “racist.”

Kappa Kappa Gamma and Zeta Beta Tau’s “Jail-n-Bail” event would require members of either Greek organization to be “held” in a certain area until they raised enough money to be “bailed out.” The funds raised were to be donated to Reading is Fundamental, a nonprofit children’s literacy organization.

The Daily Northwestern, the university’s student publication, confirmed the cancellation of the event Monday. The paper attributed the cancellation to comments made online. […]

In a letter to the editor, Ajay Nadig, a sophomore at the university, said the event was offensive to racial minorities and economically disadvantaged groups.

“I’m just saying that the Greek system is 71 percent white,” he continued. “In a situation in which roughly 40 percent of incarcerated people in this country are black, ‘Jail-and-Bail’ leads to the same situation presented in my first point, except this time with regard to race.”
