The president of Colgate University cited “implicit racial bias” for a report of an active shooter on campus that turned out to be a black student who was using a glue gun for an art project.
The president of Colgate University — a liberal arts college in New York — said there was "implicit racial bias" involved when a black student using a glue gun for an art project was mistaken as an "active shooter," leading to a nearly four-hour lockdown of the campus.
The college sent out a series of tweets about searching for the "alleged armed person" inside a building.
Reports of the armed shooter and the ensuing lockdown caused students and their family members to panic.
