After CSU condemns latest racist, homophobic social media post, students call for change

Colorado State University students are calling for an incoming freshman to be barred from admission to the school after a pair of racist and homophobic Snapchat posts he reportedly made surfaced last weekend.

University President Joyce McConnell condemned the posts in an email to students and in a June 8 post on the school's Facebook page. In her statement, McConnell didn't elaborate on the content of the posts and only listed the person responsible as "a member of the CSU community."

In screenshots sent to the Coloradoan, the post appeared to show a selfie of a young, white male with text typed over it advocating for violence against Black people and using a racial slur.

In a separate screenshot, that same individual went on a racist and homophobic rant in a Snapchat group message, referencing slavery while using racial and homophobic slurs directed at an individual in the chat.
