closeRALEIGH -- N.C. State University Chancellor James Oblinger reassured parents Wednesday that a full investigation would be done regarding an incident Nov. 8 when a toilet-paper noose was found in a bathroom stall at the school.
Campus police have looked into the matter, Oblinger said in an e-mail message, and the Wake County District Attorney's Office has agreed to do a follow-up investigation.
"Anyone found guilty of this type of act is subject to the university's disciplinary process and may also face criminal charges," Oblinger said.
