Letter to the Vice Chancellor and Chancellor of Sewanee in Response to Incident at Men's Lacrosse Game

On Saturday, March 13, Sewanee hosted Emmanuel College for a men's lacrosse game. In an email to the Sewanee community, Vice Chancellor Reuben Brigety reported that "Approximately 120 Sewanee students attended. To our great dismay, a few of the Sewanee students hurled the most vile racial epithets… toward members of the visiting Emmanuel team… So pronounced were the shouted slurs in the third quarter that the game officials on the field ordered that Sewanee fans be cleared before play could continue." Vice Chancellor Brigety has called upon all connected to Sewanee to recommit to shared values and to support accountability.
