UNI assulted student

http://www.northern-iowan.org/news/assaulted-student-speaks-out-against-crime-1.2093561

This article is about a Student at the University of Northern Iowa that was assaulted and made fun of. He said that he entered a party and exited the bathroom where other students yelled racial slurs and hit him. He said that he left. The article talks about how after the first incident dent Rapeople proceeded to call his phone and leave hateful messages. The stumon Cantu said that he was scheduled to go to a meeting and he got a message saying that he better not show up otherwise he would be risking his life. He said that over 100 students and teachers Including the president of UNI showed up at a silent protest outside of the UNI fountains.

This is news because it is something that our community should be aware of and it directly effects our college community. What could turn out because of this? This is also one of those things that students will want to be aware of.

I think that this article is very interesting. I didn't know that stuff like this was happening around me. I guess its one of those things that you might hear about and not think much of it, but if you think about it most school shootings happen because of stuff like this. Harassment and racial slurs. I think that this helps the school get a grip on whats going on and could try to prevent it. I think that its better that they know about it before it turns into something bigger than it already is.
