Students and administrators at the University of Colorado at Boulder are reviving a debate on campus race relations after a student-government official received a threatening e-mail message. Mebraht Gebre-Michael says the message—which police have traced to a public computer on the campus—used a number of racial slurs and told her she’d be harmed if she ran for student government again.
The last two years have not been encouraging for minority students at Colorado: Last spring a number of visitors to Boulder said they were harassed during a conference for black student-government officials, and in the summer a student suffered a broken jaw after being attacked by a man who was screaming racial epithets at him.
