RALEIGH – Leaders of the state NAACP and its student chapter at N.C. State met with student leaders and the school’s chancellor to discuss a response to the racist graffiti painted on campus last week.

The groups met for more than an hour behind closed doors. Student leaders presented Chancellor James Oblinger with a list of demands and a piece of legislation that calls for the enactment of a hate crime policy.

The NAACP said that comments like the ones painted in the campus’s Free Expression Tunnell qualify as a hate crime and that they were not protected by free speech.

“We don’t have free speech for making race-based threats of death,” National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Lawyer Alan McSurely said.

Rev. William Barber, the state president of the NAACP, expressed his distaste for the comments.

“It’s wrong. It’s ugly. “It’s vile,” he said. “And it’s not protected by freedom of speech.”

"The overriding sentiment is anybody who would write this kind of language and take the time to write it is disturbed,” Barber added.

The group wants any student that participates in activity like it to be expelled as a minimum, and demanded that all students take a diversity and racism course their freshman year.

More specifically, the group wants the four students responsible for this particular incident to be expelled and has given the university 48 hours to respond to its demands. But some students disagree.

“Just take this as a lesson learned,” Frederick Chavis, an NCSU senior, said. “And don’t do it again.”

The Secret Service investigated the situation and decided that there is no real threat to the President-Elect.

The Wake County District Attorney said that no state or federal laws were broken and that they are not pressing charges against the students responsible.

Student leaders said they plan to present the legislation at a student senate meeting tonight. Oblinger said he believes the meeting was a positive one and that both groups have pledged to move forward from this point.
