Student exits Gettysburg College after racial slur is carved on teammate

…The incident occurred on Sept. 6 during an informal gathering among the men's swim team at an on-campus residence, according to statements made by the college and the victim's family.

There, a student used a box cutter to write the N-word across their teammate's chest, the victim's family wrote in a statement published Friday in the campus newspaper, The Gettysburgian. The family added that their son was the only person of color at the gathering.

"The reprehensible act was committed by a fellow student-athlete, someone he considered his friend, someone whom he trusted," the family said, according to the paper...
