A University of Colorado football player has been suspended for sending a racist email to a Latino member of the cross country team at the same school.

This incident comes a month after the University of Colorado Student Union (UCSU) Tri-Executive Mebraht Gebre-Michael received a racially motivated e-mail on Nov. 15 threatening her life.

“The athletic department is under the same microscope that the University of Colorado education system is, so there’s no reason why these issues shouldn’t be brought to the public.”

I think it’s time for the University of Colorado to take responsibility for the actions of one of their programs. The university recently fired their football coach who presided over a major scandal where football recruits were taken to “sex parties.” There were also numerous rape charges against the football program. One would think that this latest incident would suffice for the school to take appropriate action and show the country that this type of behavior is unacceptable.
