<p>I doubt if you could find a single college campus where there hasn’t been an incident of some thoughtless or misguided student writing graffiti on a wall or bathroom door that is offensive. College administrations, which will have to deal with possibly sensitive disciplinary issues, have to be careful in how they handle such situations and their aftermaths - taking some time to assess the situation is hardly a sign of apathy or complacency. Oberlin has a long history of welcoming and supporting the very types of students who were unfortunately targeted by the graffiti - it is ridiculous to suggest otherwise based on this single incident. The student response, and the participation of the president of the college in that event, speak far louder and more eloquently than that unfortunate slur in this isolated instance of vandalism on the dorm wall.</p>
