'''Mark Modesitt''', [[CC]] '[[2010|10]], is a [[Political Science]] and [[Spanish]] major. He was president of the [[CC 2010 Class Council|Class of 2010 Council]] for the [[2006]]-[[2007|07]] academic year, but is more widely known for his involvement in a "hate speech" incident that took place in March 2007.<br />
<br />
On Monday [[March 5|March 5th]], [[2007]], a threat was written in permanent marker on the door of Modesitt's [[John Jay]] [[:Image:JJ8.gif|floor 8]] single.<ref>[http://www.columbiaspectator.com/node/24290 "CCSC 2010 President Gets Death Threat"], ''The Spectator'', 3/7/07.</ref> The threat read "Mark is racist, I'll kill you." Modesitt notified [[Public Safety]], naming at least four first year students. Public Safety then launched an investigation, sending an email to each implicated student. <br />
<br />
The residents of Modesitt's floor were made to attend a mandatory meeting about "hate speech", held by floor 8 [[Resident Adviser]] Alex Topkins. Modesitt's door was sanded down soon after the incident.<br />

<br />
Mark Modesitt is a Columbia College student. He is best known as the first-year president of the class of 2010. Mark is now a member of the class of 2011 after taking a medical leave from Columbia from 2007-2008. <br />
<br />
During his tenure as class president, he received death threats from a fellow Columbia student. This event elicited much attention from the Columbia community, especially after some students under investigation for making the threats launched a hate campaign against him. <br />
<br />
After returning to Columbia in the Fall of 2008, Mark desisted from involvements at Columbia and began a career in men's fashion with jobs at ''GQ'' Magazine and Grown & Sewn, a men's collection.</div>Rocky
