Former BYU students say an apology by the university is not enough, and Friday night’s incident is just a glimpse of a bigger problem.
PROVO, Utah — The Duke University volleyball player who had racial slurs shouted at her during a game against BYU is speaking out, saying she and her team felt “unsafe” and “targeted” Friday evening in Provo.
“I know a lot of students personally who didn’t make it through BYU,” said Byrde. “They either came for a little while and left or just didn’t want to be there anymore. We always have to find different ways to make it through or to protect ourselves.” The Black Menaces hope the national pressure put on the university prompts change on-campus. They say reprimanding one fan is not enough.
Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall also chimed in on Twitter, saying that there is"no place in this state or anywhere for racism."
