Hate Prompts Action on Penn. Campus

Antigay slurs written on dormitory doors at Meadville, Penn.'s Allegheny College — twice in one week— have prompted hundreds of students to march across campus to call attention to homophobia.

Marches, led by a campus group called Queers 'n Allies, happened last week, with students standing outside in near freezing temperatures. Allegheny College president James Mullen says an investigation into the crimes is ongoing.

“To be honest, I would like to see the perpetrator of these incidents identified,” political science professor Sharon Wesoky told the Allegheny Campus. “Not to have them publicly shamed […] but for people to know there’s repercussions for things like this.”
