INDIANAPOLIS — A custodian at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis has been disciplined for allegedly racially harassing black co-workers by reading a book critical of the Ku Klux Klan while on break, according to
NUVO.
Last year, Keith Sampson, also a 50-something student at IUPUI, was reading Notre Dame vs. the Klan: How the Fighting Irish Defeated the Ku Klux Klan in the custodians' break room in the Medical Science building, the story stated.
Several fellow custodians complained, and Sampson was eventually officially warned by the school's Affirmative Action Office to stop "openly reading the book related to a historically and racially abhorrent subject in the presence of your black co-workers," the story noted.
Sampson told NUVO: "I feel like I’ve been caught up in a 21st-century version of Catch-22."
