According to reports, members of the student section were displaying copies of one of the Siena player’s profiles on the dating application Tinder, as the visiting team was returning to the floor for the second half.
Leahy said he"was made aware of highly offensive actions by several members of our student body directed at players on the opposing team during last night’s men’s basketball game."
"Please be assured that we are working swiftly to gather additional details and to directly address the behavior with those involved," Leahy said in the email obtained by the Asbury Park Press."We value every member of our campus community. Strong and inclusive communities are built on a bond of trust. When that bond is broken, we take it very seriously. Discrimination of any kind will not be tolerated on this campus.
The locker room for the visiting team is located under the stands, just inside the tunnel that comes out onto the court in front of the student section. There was an incident between the two teams on the court in the immediate aftermath of the game, with players on both teams having to be separated just seconds after the final buzzer following what had been a contentious game. It's not known if that was a reaction to the students.
