NORTHFIELD, Minn. (AP) — Hundreds of students boycotted classes at St. Olaf College in southern Minnesota on Monday, instead packing an administration building to protest a rash of racist and threatening messages left around campus at the private, Lutheran liberal arts college.
One black student, Samantha Wells, found an anonymous note on her car windshield Saturday calling her a racial slur.
"I am so glad you are leaving soon," the note read. "... You have spoken up too much. You will change nothing. Shut up or I will shut you up."
President David R. Anderson said in an April 21 email to students that there had been several similar racist acts on campus since last fall and that the college administration is working with police to determine who is behind them. There have been no reports of physical attacks at the college in Northfield, which is about 45 miles (70 kilometers) south of Minneapolis.

When I lived in Minneapolis I dated a disproportionately high number of St. Olaf alumni. It's almost like their graduation requirements include a class on how to find me and date me. Wonderfully liberal women 
I remember going to an Amy Klobuchar speaking event there. With so many liberal feminists on that campus who value diversity, it must be some outside agitator doing it to troll them. I'm very disappointed this is happening there. I really hope Minnesota remains a liberal oasis and doesn't fall to the dark side like Wisconsin and Iowa recently.
