Gettysburg College Student Allegedly Carves Racial Slur on Teammate's Chest

The student is no longer enrolled following an investigation into the hate crime incident at an informal swim team gathering.

The incident occurred on September 6 during an informal gathering of the men's swim team at an on-campus residence.
A student allegedly used a box cutter to etch the N-word onto a Black teammate's chest, who was the only person of color present.
The victim's family has criticized the college for dismissing their son from the swim team before a formal investigation was completed.
The college president condemned the act and announced that the student responsible is no longer enrolled, while the investigation continues.
The family has filed complaints with the NAACP and Pennsylvania Commission on Human Relations but has not yet pursued criminal charges.
