I don’t have a student at 'bama (yet), but I am glad Dr. Witt reacted to this. Yelling a slur out of the window of a fraternity at someone walking by isn’t a private conversation. I can’t imagine hearing that as the student was lost in their thoughts walking from class, they must have been shocked.
The thought that the kid felt free to do yell that out of his fraternity window concerns me. You would hope this isn’t the kind of thinking that goes on in the house in general.
I know racism is everywhere. I think it needs to be addressed when it happens.
