Falk professor responds to Theta Tau video

Dear Daily Orange staff,

I’m writing to express to all students, staff and faculty that I’m shaking with anger, hurt and disgust upon viewing the Theta Tau video posted by The Daily Orange. I commend The D.O. for posting this video. It was a brave decision to do so.

I want to assure my students that this despicable hatred doesn’t reflect me, or the majority of faculty, staff and students at Syracuse University. I wish I could think of something more productive to say, but I’m overwhelmed with sadness that such racist, homophobic and sexist views were expressed with such amusement by members of our university community.

Sincerely,
Sandra D. Lane
Professor of public health at Falk College
