Harvard Student Claims Racism Plays Into Ban From Campus

BOSTON

A Harvard University senior who lives in the dorm where a Cambridge, Mass.,  resident was fatally shot this month says school officials ordered her out of the building and told her she could not graduate, claiming she was singled out because of her race.

Chanequa Campbell is a friend of the suspect’s girlfriend, another Harvard student, but has no connection to the suspect or victim, her attorney, Jeffrey Karp, told the Associated Press.

She was ordered off campus this past Friday with little notice and without being told why, Karp said. She was allowed to gather only a few personal belongings from her room after receiving a no-trespassing order, he said.
