American University officials refuse to share details on a suspect who is accused of writing “Black people suck” on a whiteboard recently.
Officials at the Washington, D.C. university announced that they had identified the suspect but would not provide information to The College Fix on their race or gender.
The email to the campus community did not specify what was written, but the campus paper The Eagle reported it had obtained photos that showed the words “Black people suck” were written on a whiteboard in Bender Library.
“Due to federal privacy law, we cannot disclose personal records or details. The message sent to the AU community on Monday contains our full statement on the matter,” spokesman Matthew Bennett informed The Fix on Feb. 22.
