Black students say they don’t feel safe at UConn after video shows 3 white students allegedly yelling N-word from dorm parking lot
STORRS, Conn. (WTNH) — Black students at the University of Connecticut (UConn) said they no longer feel safe at their school. “I don’t feel comfortable here anymore,” said Areon Mangan.
The upset comes after a video that shows three white students walking through the parking lot of Charter Oak Apartments allegedly saying the N-word to black students inside of their rooms and then laughing about it.
“Right now, everybody is on edge because it happened twice now and nothing is being done,” said Jakim Dease. Mangan said the incident happened right outside her window. “That was actually right outside my window, and that’s just so upsetting, like, that hurts,” she said.
The anonymous student that recorded the incident said he was shocked. He told News 8’s Mario Boone that he had never been called the N-word until that night.
“If they’re found, I would like them to be expelled,” he said. “I don’t think the university stands for behavior like that and shouldn’t stand for it.”
Eleanor JB Daugherty, UConn’s Dean of Students, sent an email to the man saying, “I’m sorry to hear this incident occurred.”
The incident is being investigated by university police. But students want something done now. “They have to make it be known that it’s not okay and it’s not going to be tolerated,” said Dease. “The people that belong here want action,” added Mangan. “We want change. This is not fair to us.”
Mario Boone CTDOT
CTDOT workers suing the department for racial discrimination
(WTNH) — A group of Department of Transportation employees is filing a Discrimination Lawsuit against the department. This makes the second time the same group of workers issuing.
The first case was withdrawn, but the alleged victims said the racial discrimination has only gotten worse. Higher-ups at the CTDOT are under fire. John Williams, civil rights lawyer and attorney for the accusers, said of the situation, “It’s really, really bad.”
CTDOT is accused by some of its black and brown workers in a soon-to-be-refiled federal lawsuit of fostering an environment of racial discrimination, harassment, and retaliation.
“Constant racial insults … disparate treatment” said Williams. “Both Latinos and African-Americans were treated differently.”
In fact, the initial lawsuit alleged, in part, “The hostile environment has consisted of racially and ethnically derogatory statements,” as well as racial slurs News 8 can’t repeat.
There’s also a claim that “management at the Milford garage regularly refused to provide the same training opportunity” to minorities as it did for white employees.
The plaintiffs were forced to yank the first legal action “because there were some defects in the way the previous lawyer had to go about filing it,” explained Williams.
The workers are now taking their issues before the State Commission on Human Rights before heading back to court.
Meanwhile, Williams said that at least one of his clients is now the victim of retaliation. “In fact,” he said, “at the moment he’s on a paid suspension.”
News 8 reached out to the DOT for comment but only received the obligatory “no comment” because of pending litigation. Williams said DOT leaders should act now by ordering “sensitivity training at all levels within the agency.”
