Three professors at the University of South Alabama (USA) have been put on leave after photos resurfaced of them wearing racially insensitive costumes at a Halloween party.
The photos, taken at a USA business school Halloween party on campus in 2014, showed professors Alex Sharland and Teresa Weldy posing with a whip and a noose and then Mitchell College of Business dean Bob Wood dressed as a Confederate general.
After the photos recently resurfaced, students created a petition describing the professors as “wearing and holding blatantly racist symbols of hatred and violence towards the African-American community”.
