STANFORD, Calif. - Stanford University on Monday informed students of noose-like ropes found in a tree on campus.

A student discovered the cords in a tree near the intersection of Campus Drive and Junipero Serra Boulevard, along the Lake Lagunita walking trail.

The student alerted the Dean of Students Office early Monday morning. The office then contacted the Sanford University Department of Public Safety (DPS)which promptly investigated the incident with a campus arborist, campus leaders said in an email to the Stanford community.

University officials said based on the condition of the ropes and tree growth around the cords, they were there for about 18 to 24 months.

"We cannot be certain whether the ropes were deliberately fashioned in the shape of nooses, or were part of an abandoned swing or rope ladder," the university said. "To be clear, a noose is a potent symbol of anti-Black racism and violence that is completely unacceptable under any circumstances."

This isn't the first time a noose-like rope was found at Stanford. In the summer of 2019 a possible noose was reported on campus.

This also comes after many Black campus community members shared that they experienced discrimination and harassment on campus.

Wait never mind it was an old tree swing! Stanford will still offer trauma services to everyone though!

What the hell is a noose-like rope? It's a rope either tied into a noose or it's not.

A possible noose?

What are these people getting upset about?

While there are many important data points in the survey report that warrant close attention, we would like to point out four significant findings:

Sixty-three percent of Black respondents indicated at least one experience with microaggression

Of the 1,313 staff who said they experienced verbal harassing behaviors, 41 percent indicated their boss or supervisor was the perpetrator and 26 percent indicated a faculty member was the perpetrator

Nearly half of survey respondents who identified as trans reported experiencing harassing behaviors

Nearly half of undergraduates who identified as having a disability reported experiencing at least one discriminatory behavior



seems like they got a lot of bigots in california or just a bunch of fragile people.

Not sure but Stanford is offering Trauma classes to deal with this old tree swing rope issue so there must be a demand for the product.

A possible noose? I'm going to guess this student would prefer all ropes to be nooses in order to save the day.

Except there’s a certain percentage of black people who will always attribute everything to racism. Driver cut me off in traffic? Racist driver. Boss fussed at me for work performance? Racist boss.

I think these snowflake idiots confuse racism/prejudice with people reacting to their attitude or appearance and they think because people reacted negatively to it, we are racist!
When in reality it’s just normal people reacting to their appearance and attitude or even language

Except for the fact that micro aggressions don’t exist in reality

I bet if a Black Panther was reported on school grounds the admin would call animal control instead of the police.

I'm pretty sure that throughout history, more Caucasians have been killed by the hangman's noose than any other race.

Here's one of the most infamous examples...

A rope with a loop in it. Seriously.

And btw, black people in the Jim Crow south are the only demographic of people to ever be executed by hanging.

Bet over half of the Stanford students don't know the difference between a square knot and a granny knot.
We need a rope tying class for kids in kindergarten so they won't grow up and be scarred by seeing a knot on a kids swing.

When you're a twisted leftist, every rope looks like a noose. God these people are mentally ill.
