Governor Condemns ‘Intolerable Acts of Racism’ at UCSD | NBC San Diego

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger condemned “intolerable acts of racism and incivility” on UC Campuses Saturday, including UCSD.
"I am deeply troubled by the horrific incidents that recently took place on various campuses of the University of California system,” he said.
He called the acts unacceptable and said he would join the University of California President, Chancellors and student leaders in condemning the incidents.
“There is no excuse for this kind of behavior in our system of higher education or anywhere else and it will not be tolerated," the Governor said.

UCSD students held a number of protests Friday -- including one inside the chancellor's office -- after the discovery of a noose at a campus library.
A noose was found hanging at the Geisel Library around 10 p.m. Thursday, according to campus police. Officers confirmed after noon Friday that one person was in custody in connection with the act
