Students at Washington University in St. Louis held a sit-in at a campus dining hall after a group of students reportedly threw eggs and yelled racial slurs last month. The Association of Black Students thanked the dining hall workers, mostly minorities, who witnessed the incident.
The incident shed light on the persistence of racism at Washington University, elite institutions, and historically white organizations. David Cook, president of a local food workers union, emphasized the workers' intimidation and discomfort during the incident, stating that they are hard-working and care about the students.
Fraternities Kappa Sigma and sorority Alpha Phi were suspended following the incident. University spokesperson Julie Hail Flory emphasized the seriousness of disruptive or harassing behavior allegations, underlining the commitment to creating an inclusive campus environment and addressing concerns through due process.
