UNH Dean of Students John T. Kirkpatrick

Dear Fellow Wildcats,

Earlier this evening, we learned that a member of a UNH sorority posted a video online using a UNH hashtag that portrayed a group of its members singing a popular song that uses the n-word. The use of that word runs counter to our values. Moreover, it is a word that diminishes members of our community. The posting has been reported to the national chapter. Both the university and the national chapter are investigating the matter.

Regards,

John T. Kirkpatrick
Dean of Students
