A University of Mississippi student, Alaina Kunes, has withdrawn from the university after a video of her and two friends making monkey gestures and sounds outside an apartment shared by three Black students went viral. Kunes issued an apology, stating her actions were insensitive and inappropriate, and that she did not know the race of the residents. The university condemned the actions and is investigating the incident. The three Black students, Jakiyra Metcalf, Victoria Johnson, and Kaiyden Caldwell, expressed mixed feelings about the apology, stating it does not change the hurtfulness of the incident.
