I agree with Malanai and others here. My feeling is that Dr. Witt would not have felt the need to get out in front of this unless the incident was corroborated by witnesses and done in such a manner that it really could not be ignored. Imagine, for example, if the slur was shouted with many witnesses present and this poor boy was the the clear target and “seen” by others to be the brunt. The person at the fraternity is “safe” in relative anonymity shouting from a window, while this young man is supposed to what? … just tuck his chin and keep walking? This is the type of thing that I hope that is not wide spread, even in private circles, generally at UA or other major universities in the south. I’m sure that’s not the case in this day and age.
