The University of Missouri has been the center of some extreme racial tension for the last several days. Faculty as well as most of the varsity football team have been boycotting activities until the president of the university stepped down. However, the racial tension continues to mount as various threats have been made toward the university as well as members of the student population.

On Wednesday, police arrested a teenage student for making what they referred to as “terrorist threats” toward the university via social media accounts, according to USA Today. University of Missouri student, Hunter Park, 19, was arrested and taken into custody at his room at one of the campus’ residence halls early on Wednesday morning. He is a student at the University of Missouri of Science and Technology. The campus is located in Rolla, Missouri, which is 90 miles or so from the main university campus in Columbia.

The university has been anxious and tense in the last few days especially since many in power at the university have since stepped aside. Racial tension continues and many black and minority students have been facing threats and rage. Park is a white student and is accused of making these so-called “terrorist threats” on an anonymous social media platform known as Yik Yak.

In the threats made at the Yik Yak site, he threatened to shoot every black person that he saw on campus. Students wearing scarves or bandanas to cover their face were shouting racial slurs at black students on campus on Wednesday and Twitter was alive on campus with racial epitaphs. The current university chancellor of the Science and Technology campus said that she would not tolerate any violence on the campus. Park is being shuttled back to Columbia and is being held on a bond of $4,500.

The university sent a campus wide email to every student on Tuesday urging them to tell campus police if they are the target of a hurtful or hateful word.
