Four to five football players at UW-Eau Claire are suspended for their involvement in alleged racist posts on social media. Chancellor Jim Schmidt said a thread of racist messages that included a photo of a burning cross and the K-K-K was used to target members of the UW-Eau Claire Black Empowerment group. Schmidt said the campus will not tolerate the racism and the Dean of Students is investigating the case. He says the investigation will determine the future of the students and whether they remain on the Blugolds football team.
