College official accuses black student of harassment because he’s waiting to see his advisor
http://www.rawstory.com/2015/05/college-official-accuses-black-student-of-harassment-because-hes-waiting-to-see-his-advisor/A Kennesaw State University student’s encounter with an academic advisor garnered attention online and sparked discussion about prejudice in academic settings after he was accused of harassment while allegedly trying to speak to her in person after other planned meetings were cancelled.
The Stream reported that Kevin Bruce’s video has been shared nearly 6,000 times since he posted it on Twitter on Wednesday night:
The footage shows a woman identified as Abby Dawson, the university’s director of advising and internships, approaching Bruce, who is seated. Dawson accuses him of harassment.
“I’m not harassing no one,” Bruce replies off-camera.
“I can call security,” Dawson says. “You can fill out the form just like everybody else does.”
“I’m just waiting to talk to someone,” Bruce tells her. “I’m not harassing no one, though.”
“Sitting here until somebody’s available is harassing them,” she insists. She then asks, “Would you like for me to call campus security?”
Before he can answer, Dawson says, “I will go do that” and walks away.
