Hate Mail Exposed

After an evacuation and a visit from the Rev. Jesse Jackson, a Christian university discovered that "racist hate mail" reported on campus actually was sent by a black student looking for a way to be pulled out of school.

The student at Trinity International University in Bannockburn, Ill., whose name was withheld, confessed she sent racist letters to three minority students. As a precaution, the school sent about 100 of its 1,000 undergraduate students off campus to hotels or private homes Friday night.

The student was charged with disorderly conduct and a hate crime, according to a statement by Kevin Tracz, Bannockburn's chief of police. The school, affiliated with the Evangelical Free Church of America, also has campuses in Florida and California.
