A member of the swim team at Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania who used a box cutter to carve a racial epithet into a teammate’s chest last week is no longer enrolled at the school, a spokesperson for the college said on Monday, NBC News reports.
In a story broken first by the private college’s student-run newspaper, the men’s swim team was at an on-campus “informal gathering” in one of the residences, during which the no-longer-student used a box cutter to “etch” the n-word into the chest of the only Black member of the team. Racism is highly suspected, though Jim Jordan is expected to say the attack was purely coincidental.
