"Through my lack of cultural awareness and joking personality, I ended up unintentionally creating a huge mess for myself, my friends, my family and many members of the Duke community that I severely regret," the student wrote.
The student said the noose was hung as a prank to entice friends to "hang out."
"If there was ever a pun with unintended consequences -- this was certainly one," the student wrote.
