There were 21 campus hate crime hoaxes uncovered in 2024

There were 21 campus hate crime hoaxes uncovered this year.

A hate crime hoax occurs when a person admits to fabricating the attack or something that appears criminal turns out to not be, such as a noose that is really just a garage pulley at a NASCAR race. It can also include situations where the given facts suggest no one intended to harm someone on the basis of race, sex, sexual orientation, or religion.

1. Police charge ‘black feminist theory’ PhD with theft for fundraising on false brick attack

Police accused Roda Osman, a University of Texas-Austin graduate student, of theft after she raised $40,000 on the pretense she was the victim of assault. Rather, video shows her taking the first swing during an argument. She disputes the criminal charges.

2. Illinois State University can’t ‘verify the use of a racial slur’ by a fan

After interviewing 47 people and reviewing hours of footage, the public university in Normal said in January it could not “verify the use of a racial slur” by a basketball fan that allegedly occurred during a game in Dec. 2023.

3. Athletic departments at two New York high schools can’t identify any evidence players were subjected to racial slurs

An East Ramapo High School women’s basketball player alleged there were racial taunts, including “monkey” sounds made during a game in early 2024. However, neither high school could confirm the allegations, and a parent present at the game challenged the claims.

4. At least one University of Maryland hate crime suspect appears to be Hispanic, but is listed as ‘white’

Police charged two individuals in February in connection to an alleged hate crime incident at the University of Maryland. But one individual listed as “white” has the last name “Delgado” and is from a town that is 75 percent Hispanic and 20 percent Asian.

5. Missouri noose is not ‘racially motivated’ school district says

A “kid in crisis” left the noose. “After extensive conversations and investigation, we do not believe this to be a racially-motivated incident,” the Francis Howell School school district said. A black parent had jumped to the conclusion that the noose was racially motivated while the local NAACP connected it to conservative school board members pushing for a right-leaning agenda.
