An alleged blackface incident took place over the weekend, but those involved say it could all be a misunderstanding.
Just after midnight on Saturday morning, the Department of Public Safety received a report that a student was wandering around Watson Residence Hall with his face painted a dark color […]
The student told officers that the face paint was camouflage - not blackface - and that he was actually on his way to rob a house, Hall said.
It turns out that this was primarily a sorority prank rather than a real robbery, but note that the student and the school officials were more concerned about a “black-face incident” than a burglary.
