On Friday, someone added black students at the University of Pennsylvania to a racist GroupMe account called “Mud Men” and an associated event called “Daily Lynching.” Check out screengrabs below. [Please note that the images below feature foul language.]

But who did it remains unclear [See updated allegations below], though UPenn said the account seems to be based out of Oklahoma. Here’s their statement from Friday afternoon.

Update – November 12, 10:31 a.m.: UPenn announced that local police have been working with the FBI and Oklahoma cops on this. According to the statement, the University of Oklahoma president reached out to say that “there is a basis for temporarily suspending one of their students as they investigate his involvement in the matter.”
