A 13-second Ring doorbell clip launched an investigation at the University of Mississippi. The video, captured Friday by freshman Jakiyra Metcalf, shows three white women walking past an apartment shared by black students, including Metcalf; two appear to make monkey noises and gestures directly towards the camera in a sort of déjà vu for the school, according to the Clarion Ledger. Metcalf says the women in the images live upstairs from her home. The clip quickly spread across social media, racking up millions of views. Hello America.
On Sunday, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Shawnboda Mead announced an investigation by the campus offices responsible for overseeing conduct and equal opportunity, calling the behavior “deeply troubling” and “unacceptable.” Mead also warned against misinformation, saying at least one student had been misnamed online, according to CBS News. Any discipline will remain confidential under confidentiality rules, Mead said, although the mother of one of the black students is asking the school to share how it plans to “ensure accountability.”
