Third incident of discrimination in past week reported to university officials

UW-Madison freshman Karie Le reported to university officials and took to social media Sunday to detail a Saturday night incident of discrimination, which is now the third incident of bias to be reported in the last week.

Le, who is Vietnamese, said she was spat on by a middle-aged white man outside of the Student Activity Center at around 7 p.m. Saturday night. The man then told her to return to China, and the roughly five other men he was with laughed at Le.
