The University Park Undergraduate Association released a statement Tuesday regarding the hate speech and racial slurs an Indian international student encountered on Sunday. This is not only unacceptable, but also traumatizing for the student, UPUA said in the statement. This may not be the first instance of discrimination on the basis of race here at Penn State, but we surely do want it to be the last.
The time and location of the incident was not shared in the Instagram post by the student.
According to the statement, the UPUA and the International Student Council have made joint efforts to support international students at Penn State and call the university to action.
