A racist group chat tied to GOP-affiliated student leaders at Florida International University has intensified concerns among students and faculty, who say the fallout is unfolding in a broader campus climate that discourages open discussion of race and racism, as The Miami Herald reports.
The chat, created last fall by the secretary of the Miami-Dade County Republican Party for conservative students, was deactivated after its contents were reported in early March and is now part of an ongoing criminal investigation, according to the university.
