YouTube race row student quits
A student who posted an internet video of her tirade against the Asian population at the University of California, Los Angeles, has said she is leaving the institution.
In a statement last night to the Daily Bruin campus newspaper, Alexandra Wallace said she had chosen to leave classes at UCLA because of threats and harassment in the wake of the three-minute video.
Earlier yesterday, university officials said they would not discipline Ms Wallace because her video was an exercise of free speech, not hate speech, and it did not violate the student code of conduct.
In the video, Ms Wallace complained about Asian students talking on their phones too loudly in the library, among other gripes.
She took down the rant shortly after posting it last weekend, but it had already gone viral.
