Brianna Brochu has been expelled from the University of Hartford in Conneticut after being accused of a hate crime against her black roommate.
Brochu posted an Instagram post bragging of how she had bullied her housemate Chennel Rowe into moving out of her accommodation:
Finally did it yo girl got rid of her roommate!! After 1 ½ month of spitting in her coconut oil, putting moldy clam dip in her lotions... putting her toothbrush places where the sun doesn’t shine, and so much more I can finally say goodbye Jamaican Barbie.
University of Hartford President Greg Woodward announced Wednesday that Brochu, “will not be returning" to the university:
Let me be clear: the accused student’s behaviour was reprehensible and does not reflect the values of our institution, Let me repeat; racism and hatred will not be tolerated on this campus.
As of this morning, Brianna Brochu is no longer a student at the University of Hartford. She will not be returning to the institution.
In a Facebook video about the , Ms Rowe said she had felt “unwanted” and “disrespected” by Ms Brochu after moving into the room.

Ms Rowe described becoming sick and said she had suffered “extreme throat pain”, which she alleged was connected to Ms Brochu’s actions.
I keep looking at this paragraph, right, because the paragraph said so much stuff she’d done, at the same time she said she’s done so much more.
But I don’t know the so much more. I’ve been using my toothbrush for how long? She says she put my toothbrush places the sun doesn’t shine.
Brochu has also been accused of rubbing used tampons on Rowe's belongings. And here's me thinking a passive aggressive note about not doing the washing up was bad form.
