Taylor Dumpson, the first Black woman to be elected as student body president at American University (AU), is now under campus police protection.
As the FBI continues to investigate racist displays on campus that took place May 1, the same day Dumpson took office, the university announced Friday that a white supremacist wrote a post asking people to harass Dumpson online.
Doron Ezickson, director of the Anti-Defamation League’s D.C. regional office, alerted school officials Thursday evening that Andrew Anglin, founder of the neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer, encouraged his followers to troll Dumpson and “any related social media accounts,” according to The Eagle, the student newspaper.
