Some Georgetown students are calling for the school to improve how it responds to alleged hate crimes or bias incidents, saying the current process is perceived as unlikely to produce results. The frustration has been on display in recent months as the university disclosed incidents, including one from last spring in which a student says another student yelled a racial slur at her. Georgetown has said it was unable to definitively determine who made the remark, but some students have questioned the investigation. www.washingtonpost.com/education/2023/02/20/georgetown-hate-crime-protests/

It all seemed very convenient for the school, and I don't think it was just slur, but remarks about her entire race and what the student thought of them (and the public report of the incident at the time was sent to the student body near the bottom of a newsletter email many do not read). Apparently there have been a significant number of other hate crimes in the past year such as swastikas being drawn and it is a problem I think that if the school does little to nothing when it actually gets the chance to, then it emboldens these disgraceful people. Side note: I have been noticing more incidents of schools during incidents that would make them look bad, not that this is new, but another example is when I found out about the Princeton student who died last semester and I did not find the story until I came across it reading a British news website for soccer stuff and could not find much else for outlets on this side of the pond. Shame
