	On [[October 9]], [[2007]], a noose was found on the door of black [[Teachers College]] professor [[Madonna Constantine]], causing widespread protests due to the perception that the incident was racially-motivated. Theories have been advanced that the professor herself hung the noose to get attention, or that the noose was hung by a rival professor at Teachers College. Columbia was criticised for failing to turn over security tapes to aid in the NYPD's investigation of the incident, but has since complied with the requests of police.

 Although initially assumed to be isolated to Columbia, nooses, copycat or otherwise, began appearing in public spaces all around [[New York City]] and in other parts of the country.
