A student at Gettysburg College was dismissed after carving a racial slur into a swim teammate’s chest during a social gathering on September 6. The victim’s family, who reported their son was the only person of color present, described the act as a hate crime. College President Bob Iuliano expressed profound distress over the incident, emphasizing the school’s commitment to an inclusive environment. While upperclassmen reported the incident, the victim’s family claims he was unfairly dismissed from the team within 48 hours, contrary to the college’s policies. The situation has prompted complaints to local NAACP divisions.
