Univ. of South Carolina President Harris Pastides said a student has been suspended after a photo containing a racial slur went viral on social media Friday.
Univ. Of South Carolina Student Suspended
The photo allegedly shows Univ. of South Carolina student Gracen Tilton holding a marker standing at a classroom white board listing reasons “Why USC WiFi blows.”
The first reason the female student stated was the word “N—ers”.
President Pastides released a statement stating:
“Today, the unfortunate and disappointing act of a student in a study room has challenged the Carolina community to reflect on our values and tell the world what we believe,” it said. ” Respect for all is at the heart of the Carolina Creed, a code by which we agree to abide. Racist and uncivil rhetoric have no place at the University of South Carolina.”
An investigation into the matter continues.
