Two students at Arizona State University who were disciplined by the school for harassing two conservative white students are now accusing the university of conducting a “racially biased investigation.”
Mastaani Qureshi and Sarra Tekola claimed the university persecuted them for “defending our multicultural center from racism and sexism” and said the university is “a violent place.”

The two students pushed ASU into national headlines after they posted a video of themselves harassing two students who had sat down to study near them because one of the students had a Bass Pro Shops hat, a “police lives matter” laptop sticker, and a Chick-Fil-A cup. The other student who was harassed was wearing a shirt that said, “Did not vote for Biden.”
“’Dear White People, A.K.A. ASU — You openly discriminated against us on November 16 when you handed down your decision from your racially biased investigation,” Qureshi said in a video the pair posted.
The Daily Mail reported that ASU told Tekola and Qureshi that the September confrontation “was not respectful dialogue, and its heated nature in an enclosed space where numerous other students were studying caused disruption to their activities as well as to the previously quiet study activities of the students who you confronted.”
The two students said they were ordered to write a three-page paper detailing how they would respond civilly in the future.

“We are going to give ASU an educational intervention on why telling students of color at ASU to be more civil in the face of white supremacy and neo-nazism on this campus is actually violent,” the students said in their video response.
