On November 19, 2015, CMC Acting Dean of Students Jeff Huang received an email from a CMC alumnus warning him about a message he had discovered on a Google Form. On December 5th, 2015, students at the 5Cs were notified about the message. Here it is:
“You stupid fucking students are so full of shit, constantly complaining about wanton useless bullshit and trite whenever a single fucking thing bothers you. Stop being such a fucking pussy or I will personally fucking shoot each and every one of you.”
This is the first time I’ve heard of a gun threat directed towards a Claremont College and members of the Consortium. When I saw this email I was in shock and disgusted. How can someone think like this? Why can’t this individual understand that CMC students were challenging their institution because they wanted to make it a safer and supportive environment for people of color? Also, why did it take CMC’s Dean of Students or Office of Student affairs two weeks to notify students across the Consortium? Students need to be notified as soon as possible, no matter how extreme the threat is or ambiguous the threat’s source is.
