NCCU law students call for expulsion of classmate, fear for safety

Some law students at North Carolina Central University are calling for their classmate to be expelled because of comments they say she posted to her Facebook account.

The students say Morgan Kendall, one of their fellow students, used a racial slur on social media and said she wishes she could take credit for the pipe bomb packages that were sent to the Obamas and Clintons last month.

The students, who said they now fear for their safety, met Thursday with the dean of the law school, Elaine O’Neal, and campus police Chief Fred Hammett.

I don't feel safe. I don't know what she's capable of, and I would like to see her expelled immediately," said Kayla Britt.

"I think she should be kicked out of law school," said Jazemine McSween. "I just don't think it's fair that someone with those sentiments to receive a degree from this school that was founded by the very people that she has disrespected multiple times."

WRAL News was not allowed inside the meeting that was held Thursday, but students said O’Neal told them that Kendall would not be allowed at school this week, but that she can return to class on Monday.

"The sentiment from the room was that's not an adequate response considering the fear to public safety," said Anastasia Mebane, a law student.

"We're calling for things to be done now. We understand there's a process. We understand that process can be sped up by urgency ... so that is what we're looking for," Britt said.

Students told WRAL News that if the school does not take action quickly, there will be protests.

WRAL News reached out to Kendall, but she did not return the call or text message.
