The chancellor at the University of
Minnesota-Duluth says the school needs to be more vigilant about
investigating allegations of racism.


      Chancellor Kathryn Martin addressed an incident last week on
campus which she calls "horrendous and despicable."

      Two white female students are accused of having a racist
Facebook wall conversation about a black female student who entered
their study lounge. The university investigated, but does not have
a policy that deals directly with social networking conversations
on the school's server. The white students were logged onto the
university's server.

      The campus' code of student conduct has a zero tolerance policy
on racist behavior. The Duluth News Tribune reports the school's
11,000 student population includes 130 black students.
