Posters have appeared on the campus of WesleyanUniversity (Middletown, Connecticut, USA) suggesting that students who havebeen celebrating Hindu festival of Holi were not allowed in Usdan, “a focalpoint of activity” on the campus. Posters say “NO COLORED PEOPLE ALLOWED IN USDAN.”

University’sfirst official celebration of Holi reportedly took place on Foss Hill onFriday, April 27, when these flyers appeared.

Highlyselective Wesleyan University, on a 316-acre campus overlooking the ConnecticutRiver and with students from around the world, offers 47 major fields of study,including various doctoral programs. Annual expenses for a student now add to$58,371, while tuition was only $36 when it was founded in 1831 by Methodistleaders. Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. reportedly visited this campus severaltimes. Its Usdan University Center is a “central programming space for thecampus community” and provides a “comfortable gathering place for students,staff, faculty, alumni and visitors”.
