University of Albany students' Coronavirus-themed party sparks outrage
Some students at the state University at Albany hosted a coronavirus-themed party off campus last weekend and are being investigated for violating the college's student code of conduct. According to WGY News Radio, a video was posted on the Instagram account Barstool Albany in which a bucket of iced Corona beers and a person wearing a surgical mask with the caption, "Corona virus isn't gonna stop anyone from partying", can be seen. University officials stated that "the theme of this parrty was distasteful and hurtful and is not representative of UAlbany or its nearly 18,00 students." Asian American Alliance, a university student organization, has also condemned the party for its insensitivity and racism.
