White nationalist posters found on Kansas State campus
Kansas State is speaking out after posters promoting white nationalism were plastered around on campus.
The Manhattan Mercury reports that university spokesman Steve Logback says the posters that appeared Wednesday don’t reflect Kansas State values and are unwelcome.
SGA is working on a statement and plans for a demonstration tomorrow, both to be released soon. Absolutely NO place for this on our campus.

Student body president Jack Ayres said in a tweet the student government was working on putting together a demonstration. He wrote, “Absolutely NO place for this on our campus.”
Student Seth Peery called the posters “heartbreaking” but “not entirely surprising.” He says not enough has been done to promote “understanding and empathy regarding racial diversity.”
The university also found several racist messages on campus during the spring semester, including a noose hanging in a tree. Kansas State denounced the posters and created two new diversity and inclusion administrative positions over the summer.
