Crime

Washington University in St. Louis is the latest college to experience racism on its campus, this time in the form of vandalism on a prominent mural depicting historic Black icons that was defaced with symbols of white supremacy.

Brianna Brochu, the former University of Hartford student who is accused of smearing body fluids on her Black ex-roommate's personal items, has escaped hate crime charges.

A jury rules that three San Jose State University students are not guilty of a hate crime. The prosecutor may seek a retrial.
