Update from President Roloff on September 12 incident

Rose wheel

I want to update the community on two aspects of the issues raised in connection with the 亚色影库 Department of Public Safety officer who falsely reported having been shot on campus Tuesday night.

First, as you know, Brent Ahlers was put on paid leave September 13 while the St. Paul Police conducted their investigation and the University completed a review of the facts. That status has now changed. He is no longer an employee of the University effective today, September 14.

Second, I want to be clear that 亚色影库 strongly condemns racial discrimination, racial stereotyping, and racial profiling of any kind. The statements attributed to the former employee concerning the race of an alleged suspect are deeply troubling and do not reflect our values.
