The University of Mississippi has opened at least one student conduct investigation after videos of pro-Palestinian protesters surrounded by counter protesters circulated online, including one that many have singled out as racist.

Chancellor Glenn F. Boyce sent a letter to students and staff on Friday noting that Ole Miss leaders were aware of behaviors that were "offensive, hurtful, and unacceptable, including actions that conveyed hostility and racist overtones" at Thursday's protest.

"While student privacy laws prohibit us from commenting on any specific student, we have opened one student conduct investigation," Boyce wrote. "We are working to determine whether more cases are warranted."

On Thursday, a group of roughly 30 to 60 pro-Palestinian protestors gathered on the Quad and added to the list of demonstrations on college campuses nationwide. But the event turned hostile as they were outnumbered by counter protesters, who at one point drowned out the chants of protesters by singing “The Star-Spangled Banner."

1. There's video of multiple students...

...screaming the N-word and making "monkey" noises directed at black protesters. Their faces are clearly recognizable.

Yet, there "may" be "one" individual whose behavior could be seen as having "racist overtones". And, they are working to determine if further investigation is warranted. Fucking pussies.

The tone of the university and of the media coverage is so timid that it almost sounds pre-apologetic. They're getting ready to put a lot of energy into doing nothing.

These students should be doxed and their identities distributed to every possible future employer for inclusion on a do-not-hire list.

3. The students already doxxed themselves, appearing on video with no masks making ape sounds.

Ole Miss knows who these students are. I bet they're all in the same fraternity.

2. They don't want to piss off ALL the racists there, so 'investigating ONE student".

Tells me all I need to know.
