"A noose was found at Columbia University's Teachers College on Tuesday morning, police said. A black professor found the symbol of hate dangling from her office door in a campus building on 120th Street between Broadway and Amsterdam. Teachers College would not release the professor's name, but students said she teaches a class on social justice and is a vocal proponent of racial equality. Student Mary Owens said it was "really, really disturbing" to learn that an advocate of tolerance was the target of such an act. "We foster multiculturalism, and she is just a proponent of those issues," she said. Others were upset after news of the noose spread across campus. "Hearing about this has shaken me up," said student Aamnah Hussein. Teachers College President Susan Fuhrman issued the following statement to the Teachers College community: "The police were here this morning because a hangman's noose was discovered on the office door of one of our African American faculty members. The incident has been reported to the New York City Police Department (Detectives Bureau of Manhattan) and is under active investigation by the Hate Crimes Task Force. "The TC community and I deplore this hateful act, which violates every Teachers College and societal norm." Teachers College officials planned a community meeting for Wednesday to discuss the incident. Authorities said the crime could be prosecuted as a felony. Teachers College spokesman Joe Levine said "a racist incident occurred" and that police were investigating. Teachers College was crowned the No. 1 graduate school of education in U.S. News & World Report's 2008 rankings. "

Other nooses have already shown up.

A day or two after the big rally thingy, we had one show up at a high school here in North Carolina.

nooses are so 19th century, they should leave empty buckets of KFC at their door

10/9/2007 8:36:10 PM

I'm not surprised by this noose thingy. Racism is still alive and well, Sharpton and Jackson be damned.

For someone to put one on a college professor's door is pretty gutsy. I hate to say it, but she musta been one fantastic bitch about her opinions...

10/9/2007 8:38:07 PM

is this really news worthy?

10/9/2007 8:40:40 PM

^^ considering this was an obvious singling out, i wonder if there was any reason why or if it was just the random work of a total idiot

10/9/2007 9:06:43 PM

I've wondered for some years now what black folks will do when both their elder statesmen die.

I know you were pointing it out and not really asking a question but it made me think, "really? are you really asking that? How on earth can you mistake Michael Jackson for anyone else on this earth?"

some body else will step up....they always do

10/12/2007 12:14:02 PM

well, i mean, i'm not taking a stab here. i'm just saying, I have no idea who the hell will be next in line for that "duty." I can't think of who is so polar about the race thing, and so significant as those two. I mean, the only "siginificant" blacks on any large scale at all anymore are rap stars. And, uhh..yeah. And Cosby is too wise to take up that cause. And he's about the same age, too.

Michael Eric Dyson

and for the record, Dyson's views are much more progressive - and he'd be a better help for the country as a whole

What's the deal with it being a potential felony? Was anybody seriously intimidated by this?

10/12/2007 2:06:05 PM

oh, is this some variation of that retarded "if you ignore racism, it will go away" argument?
