Students and MSU officials will gather at 8 p.m. today in the Brody Auditorium to address recent racially motivated events on campus.

The forum will address a sexually charged flier posted in Shaw Hall and two women in Emmons Hall who were called derogatory names.

Rodney Patterson, director of the Office of Racial Ethnic Student Affairs, Nikki O'Brien, coordinator for African American Student Affairs, and history Professor Pero Dagbovie are among the officials expected to attend.

"We want to address the situations which took place within the last month, specifically the one in Emmons," said Terrance Wilbert, an Emmons Hall racial ethnic student aide. "Students are fed up with the different incidents and to have this happen in Emmons is like another slap in the face.

"This is our first plan of action to make everyone aware and we not only want African Americans to be aware, but the majority of the population."
