Another Written Slur Reported On FGCU Campus

www.fgcu.edu

Another written slur was reported at Florida Gulf Coast University. A campus police report says the derogatory word against homosexuals was keyed onto a woman's car sometime last Thursday. 

Her black Honda was parked near Student Health Services for several hours. The report says there were no suspects as of Saturday. This slur comes about a month after the words "kill 'n word'" were discovered written on a campus white board, next to a drawing of a stick figure hanging from a tree.

More than 100 students rallied against the university's reaction to that racial slur, saying the school should have considered it a "hate crime" and informed the whole campus about the incident immediately. Instead, students found out through social media two weeks later. Shortly after, "noose tying 101" was found also written on an FGCU whiteboard.
