Here’s the latest on the supposed hate crime at Columbia University:


NEW YORK (AP) ? Columbia University has refused to turn over security videotape that could help identify who hung a noose on a black professor’s office door, police said Thursday.

Investigators began asking on Wednesday for tapes from cameras in the building, but have been rebuffed by administrators, said Paul Browne, the New York Police Department’s top spokesman.

He said police will have to get a court order to force the school to provide video they believe could crack the case.


Now why would they not want to give police video evidence of who hung the noose outside the professor’s office?
