Racist Robocalls About Tessa Majors Made to Columbia U. Employees
The recorded messages from a white supremacist outlet were delivered on Christmas.

Then, on Wednesday, came an unnerving development: A number of university employees received a robocall that used Ms. Majors’s death to promote a white supremacist ideology.
In the blatantly racist recording, a man blames Ms. Majors’s death, which the police have said occurred during a park mugging, on race.
The calls were made between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Christmas, according to the official. He said that it was unclear how many robocalls were placed, but that “numerous” messages went to people who worked at Barnard.
The New York Police Department’s Racially and Ethnically Motivated Extremism unit was investigating the calls, a police spokeswoman said.
Columbia and Barnard officials, who called the messages “abhorrent” and “violently racist,” said that the calls were placed to landlines at Barnard and Columbia, and that no students were believed to have received them.
