Warwick University suspends 11 students over racist and misogynistic ‘jokes’
ELEVEN male students at Warwick University have been suspended pending a disciplinary investigation after screenshots of a group chat showed that they joked about rape and used racist and anti-semitic slurs.
Three formal complaints were made to the university, with dozens of screenshots of the alleged remarks provided as evidence.
The screenshots from Facebook showed one chat member wrote: “Rape her friends too,” with another replying: “Sometimes it’s fun to just go wild and rape 100 girls.”
