Professor Reports Seeing ‘Noose’ Behind House. It Was Part Of A Swing Set.

Earlier this month, two black Penn State University professors reported seeing a “noose” in a tree behind their house.
They told PSU student newspaper the Daily Collegian that the incident was “deeply distressing to them and their family.” Local media outlet the Centre Daily Times reported that the professors believed the alleged noose was “deliberately placed [on the tree] to harass them.”

The College Fix reported that the Patton Township Police Department found the noose and began investigating. Before that investigation was complete, however, PSU President Eric Barron posted a statement condemning the alleged act of hate and accepting the professor’s feelings as truth.
