NELSONVILLE, Ohio: Officials at Hocking College, a campus carved into a forest in the Appalachian foothills, say they are taking seriously a threat scrawled on a bathroom wall warning that black students would be killed on February 2.
The Ohio college has provided temporary housing for students who are too scared to stay in Hocking Heights, the dorm where the threats were found.
For those wary of venturing outside until after February 2, teachers are making allow-ances for missed class work.
Campus spokeswoman Judy Sinnott said she had not heard previous complaints of racist taunting, but that on a small campus anything could happen.
"Any time that there are young people, you know, there's going to be tension," Sinnott said. - Sapa-AP
