Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Campus Targeted by Racist Vandals

Cal Poly San Luis Obispo has had more than its share of racist incidents recently, including one where a group of white fraternity members was photographed flashing gang signs while at least one was in blackface, and it appears that there may be more to come. After one professor at the college, Neal McDougall, expressed his support for the students experiencing discrimination, he arrived at his office one day to find racial slurs and fliers on the walls, while posters he had hung were slashed. With some of these fliers linking skin color to homicide and rape rates, amongst other blatantly inaccurate and discriminatory statements, it is clear that there are some students on campus not willing to embrace diversity. On a campus where the population is reportedly less than 55% white, this means that a lot of students are currently feeling unwelcome, and victims of discrimination.

According to MacDougall, police refused to attend the scene, telling him just to remove the fliers, and the university’s response was somewhat disappointing. However, a university spokesman has confirmed that such discriminatory behavior is not acceptable, and will result in possible expulsion and criminal charges, should the perpetrators be identified.
