Duke University: Student takes responsibility for noose found hanging on campus

A Duke student has admitted to hanging a noose made of rope from a tree near a student union, university officials said Thursday.

The prestigious private school didn’t identify the student, citing federal privacy laws. In a news release, it said the student was no longer on campus and will face student conduct review.

The student was identified during an investigation by campus police and the office of student affairs and admitted to placing the noose on the tree early Wednesday, the university said.

Officials are still trying to determine if other people were involved.

Criminal investigations into the incident are ongoing as well.

Students and faculty members marched Wednesday afternoon chanting “We are not afraid. We stand together,” after pictures of the noose were passed around on social media.
