Correction and updates: An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated that the employees fired by Aramark were African American. While the NYU dining hall employees who served the meal were black, those employees were not fired over the incident. The food services company fired two different employees, which NYU Local has confirmed were in fact white and were responsible for planning the meal. This article has also been expanded to provide the complete statements from Hamilton and Aramark.
Two Aramark employees have been fired by the food service after preparing a meal at NYU during Black History Month that was deemed racially “insensitive.” Early reports suggested that the fired employees were African-American; however, on-campus publication NYU Local has confirmed that the two employees were in fact white.
