On Friday, October 9, Ithaca College was made aware that a posting had been made to social media about a planned off-campus party by a group of Ithaca College students. The posting used language that was reprehensible for its racial and class stereotyping. The views expressed in this posting are antithetical to the college’s commitment to respect and inclusivity.

Dear Fellow Students,

It has come to my attention that many of the routes that students walk off-campus can be unsafe, specifically, Troy Road, Coddington Road and 96B/Danby Road. Each of these roads has considerable traffic that moves at various and rapidly changing speeds, and I want to make sure that as students, we all take more caution when walking around our local area, especially late at night.

Some local residents have expressed concern that students have been walking in their yards and in some cases, damaging property such as mailboxes. I understand that on roads like Troy and Coddington there is very little space to walk, as well as deep ditches to keep from falling or tripping into, but we all must be respectful of our neighbors’ property. Our South Hill community is a vibrant one, and that comes from the wonderful cohabitation of students and local residents.  We don’t want to lose that meaningful relationship.
