Northeastern Suspends Ties to New Jersey Medical University
Northeastern University has halted an internship program with the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and removed four students from the school after two of the Northeastern students were allegedly coerced into dressing as Ku Klux Klan members in an apparent hazing incident at UMDNJ's emergency medical technician program, the Northeastern News reports.
The incident, which officials say occurred July 6, was captured on a grainy cellphone photo depicting two people wearing white sheets, one clenching a cross made from wood and tape. Someone in an emergency medical services uniform is also shown adjusting a sheet.
The students were part of an EMT certificate program at UMDNJ, and the three university paramedics involved in the incident have been fired. At least one of those men was an instructor to the students, the Star-Ledger reports.

who reallycares
shut up and cry me a river. if it was a black (negro) dress up like the naacp whould you fire them. Because they are no different then the KKK. white people get a heart and stand up for yourself you cowards.....
I do
The NAACP, an organization dedicated to improving the status of a people who have been repeatedly disenfranchised in this country is the same as the KKK, a terrorist organization dedicated to harming American citizens? Great argument.
Also, hazing like this is illegal, so yes, a black person would be fired for the same thing.
no it got ridiculous
first of all, no one actually forced these people to dress up like this, so the idea that only the EMT's, and not the interns, are being disciplined is ridiculous. i live near where this happened and i am seeing this in the news all the time, people calling it "horrific." it's not horrific. murder is horrific, rape is horrific, crimes against children are horrific. there is such a circus around this that it's hard to take it seriously.
