DAVIDSON, N.C. -- A Charlotte-area college is investigating social media posts that school leaders say could reflect racism, bigotry and anti-semitism not tolerated at the college.

  • Davidson College says the investigation is ongoing
  • The college cannot confirm if the account belongs to a student
  • President Carol Quillen sent out an email addressing the situation 

It happened this week at Davidson College. The investigation is concerning a Twitter handle with the name, "Femanon_." 

A spokesperson for the university says they cannot confirm if the account belongs to a student for privacy reasons under FERPA regulations. In an email sent by President Carol Quillen addressing the concerns regarding the account:

"Our community is understandably upset over social media postings that gained attention last evening. I want you to know that our campus is safe. There are no threats to campus, and our staff are addressing this situation. We have no greater priority than the safety and well-being of our community. 

Clearly racism, bigotry and anti-Semitism are antithetical to everything Davidson stands for and to the community we strive to be. Since we became aware of this, we (campus police, all of our student life and RLO staff, our communications staff, and many others) have been working on it.  We will update you as we can. For now, please know that we are a strong community and stand firm behind our values of dignity toward all.​"

Students on campus say they're disturbed by the thought that a Neo-Nazi could be studying alongside them in their classrooms. 

"It's just something that I hope that we all can address and that there's some actual change and action being taken," junior Samantha Armas said.

The college says the investigation is ongoing.
