HARTFORD Conn.
The student-run newspaper at Central Connecticut State University is under fire for publishing a cartoon this week that critics call racist and sexist.
The three-frame comic, titled “Polydongs,” features two characters who mention locking a “14-year-old Latino girl” in a closet and urinating on her. It was published in Wednesday’s edition of The Recorder, a weekly newspaper distributed free on campus.
The university’s president vowed Friday to cut off advertising in the paper and its critics plan a protest Monday on campus to push for reforms, including the ouster of Recorder Editor Mark Rowan.
