SAN DIEGO (AP) - The University of California, San Diego has halted funding for student media after a TV segment ridiculed black students outraged by a party mocking Black History Month.
The head of the campus Associated Students froze funding for 33 media outlets after one outlet, The Koala, ran a student TV episode last week calling black students ungrateful and using a derogatory term for blacks.
Associated Students President Utsav Gupta says he wants a timeout until the campus can craft a new policy on student-funded media.
The Koala, which has a reputation for airing offensive material, made fun of reaction to an off-campus fraternity party this month. The "Compton Cookout" urged partygoers to dress as ghetto stereotypes to commemorate Black History Month.
