Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee, has revealed that vulgar and racist messages discovered on its campus earlier this month were fabricated.
The messages, including the phrases “F*ck N***ers” and “Trump Rules,” were meant to smear supporters of former President Donald Trump as racists.
After a thorough investigation involving Campus Safety officers and the Memphis Police Department, the college confirmed that the messages were created by a student who has since admitted responsibility, Fox News reported.
“Thanks to the tireless efforts of our Campus Safety officers and the Memphis Police Department, the investigation into the hate crime that occurred recently on our campus has ended with the identification of the perpetrator and the conclusion this incident was fabricated. This individual has admitted responsibility,” Rhodes College stated.
The school’s statement continued, “This matter has caused enormous pain to our community, and we are taking the appropriate steps to hold this individual accountable, including all legal avenues that may be available to us.”
The campus erupted in anger when the vulgar messages were first discovered.
Flyers featuring racial slurs and profanity were reportedly found near the school’s National Pan-Hellenic Council Plaza, a space dedicated to the nine historically Black Greek organizations at the college, during Thanksgiving break.
The messages, scrawled on 13 pieces of paper, were condemned as hateful and inflammatory.
Lauren Roberts, a student, described the messages as “vulgar” in comments to a local CBS affiliate.
Another student, visibly shaken, told reporters, “I didn’t agree with it. I know a lot of my friends who were pretty upset about it.”
The administration issued an immediate “Timely Warning” to alert students of the alleged hate crime and expressed its commitment to investigating the matter. “We are a community that is firmly committed to diversity, inclusion, belonging, civility, and respect, and we do not tolerate racial bias or hate speech,” the college’s Critical Campus Safety Communications office declared at the time.
However, the case took a dramatic turn when it was revealed that the messages were not the work of a Trump supporter but rather an act of deliberate fabrication.
