White Yale Student Calls Police on Black Student for Napping in Dorm

Yale University claims it is committed to "maintaining an inclusive community of scholars." However, there's a glaring error in its practices when a white graduate student is either ill prepared or unwilling to live in a diverse and inclusive environment and continues to call the authorities on Black students.
Sarah Braasch reported Lolade Siyonbola, who is Black and also a graduate student, to Yale Police officers on Monday because Siyonbola fell asleep in the Hall of Graduate studies common room.
Police interrogated Siyonbola for more than 15 minutes. She showed the officers her room key and eventually went to her room to produce her student ID to confirm she is a Yale student who lives in the building.
