A noose was found at Columbia University's Teachers College on Tuesday, police said.
A black female professor found the hangman's noose dangling from her office door.
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.
Teachers College is a prestigious school for aspiring educators, and was rated the No. 1 graduate school of education by U.S. News & World Report.

If this story is true, I think it's a deplorable thing to do. On the other hand, I don't trust academics to tell the truth. If you'll remember, there was a professor who vandalized her own car. Keep reading:

In Search Of the Nutty Professor
by: Malcolm A. Kline, August 19, 2004
We Eddie Murphy fans may have to rent “The Nutty Professor” and its various sequels but most college students can find a local variety of the educated dunce at their own institutions of higher learning. Here are a few that we’ve come across:
Kerri Dunn at Claremont McKenna College vandalized her own car and fabricated a hate crime, of which she declared herself the victim, before the local police discovered her hoax and the actual offenses that she committed in another state.

I think Mellencamp will have to add Columbia into his Jena song. Those lib professors are all worried about a noose.
Cornballs all of them.

“A black female professor found the hangman’s noose dangling from her office door.”
I’m guessing that she “found” it right after she put it there.

Not racist.
Just a gay S&M advertisement.

Can anyone give an example of just one of these cases over the years that turned out to be REAL? i.e a white racist was apprehended?

Thank you.
Time will tell if this is a hoax or a real story. History tells us that it’s probably a 50-50 chance at this point.

People would quit doing this is if they weren’t guaranteed to get their stunt on the national news. I have a radical idea: If a professor or student or anyone, of any color, finds a noose on their door, they should take it down, throw it in the trash, and resume their normal activities.

Sharpton will be on this one like a fly on a cowpie, but he better be wary — lib profs, as you pointed, have been known to do some nutty things for attention.

Apprehended for what ? I didn’t know that hanging a noose, with no other physical or verbal threat, was a crime.

Yeah, she went to jail too for it. Is she still in the pokey?

But, but, but I thought colleges considered this an issue of free speech.

Google Grambling University and noose if you want to be shocked. A noose is only a symbol of hate if a white person uses it. Reminds me of the N word. ;0)

If just hanging a noose was a crime, someone would/should be arrested at every performance of King Lear.
