After Yale Police officers questioned a black graduate student, Lolade Siyonbola GRD ’19, in response to a complaint about her sleeping in a Hall of Graduate Studies common room made by a white graduate student, Sarah Braasch GRD ’20, the University sent an email to graduate and professional school students on Wednesday night describing the incident as “deeply troubling” and reaffirming Yale’s commitment to addressing incidents of “racial bias, discrimination and harassment.”

Early Tuesday morning, Yale police officers interrogated Siyonbola for more than 15 minutes, after Braasch reported Siyonbola to the police for sleeping in the HGS common room. The email, sent by University Secretary and Vice President for Student Life Goff-Crews, stated that Yale police “admonished the complaining student that the other student had every right to be present.”

Braasch, who was identified on social media by Yale students as stills and clips from Siyonbola’s videos circulated online, has not responded to multiple requests for comment. By the early hours of Thursday morning, Siyonbola’s Facebook posts had been updated to identify Braasch by name.

A white graduate student at Yale called police after she discovered a black student sleeping in a common room area. Fallout of the incident has been captured on social media.

Yale graduate student Lolade Siyonbola filmed the moment campus police officers started asking her questions. They were called by Sarah Braasch, who found Siyonbola asleep in the building they both live in.

Siyonbola posted two videos online—one confronting Braasch in the hallway and another when the police arrive—after Braasch was allegedly involved in a similar incident with one of her friends in the past.

“This Sarah Braasch called the cops on my friend a few months ago for getting lost in my building. Today she messed—again—with the wrong one,” Siyonbola wrote on Facebook.
