Emory University expels law student who sent racist email

Emory University has been quietly dealing with a law student who sent increasingly bizarre messages containing racist language to a faculty member.

That controversy exploded into public view in recent weeks as local news outlets began covering the story.

That student, Milano Wayne, has now been expelled amid accusations that Emory University was too slow to remove him and address his behavior. Wayne did not respond to messages seeking comment.

In one email sent in March, he described himself as “transracial” and said “I must stomp on n*****s.” He used the word 11 times in the email. He also posted messages on LinkedIn about what he called the “FEMINIST WAR ON MEN AND THE CONSTITUTION” and what he claimed to be false allegations of sexual assault made against him.

“I dream of the day I get to tear apart purported rape victims on cross-examination in defense of my accused clients,” he wrote in a post on the business networking site.

Emory’s public response has been constrained due to student privacy laws, but students think the school should have done more and intervened sooner. News website Capital B reported that Wayne has not been on campus since January, when law school classes were conducted virtually while officials investigated allegations that he had threatened the school.

When the controversy began to receive more media attention, Badia Ahad, provost and executive vice president for academic affairs, and Richard Freer, dean and Charles Howard Candler Professor of Law, sent an email to the community on April 19. The email said the university was doing everything it could to protect students.

“While our investigation determined there was not an immediate physical threat from the individual whose hateful social media posts and emails implicate a number of Emory policies, that does not eliminate the fear and harm the individual has caused,” the email said. “The person’s recent emails and social media posts were inappropriate and unacceptable, and we shared this information with our law enforcement partners.”
