ITHACA, N.Y.--Eleven Ithaca College students suspended for masquerading as Ku Klux Klan members last Halloween dropped their appeal last week to be reinstated in the college this semester.
However, the students' lawsuit against the college for damages and to expunge records of the incident is still in progress. The students' attorney said they dropped their appeal only because the semester was well underway and they felt it was too late to be reinstated.
On Halloween night ten of the students paraded around the campus in white sheets, dragging the eleventh in tattered clothes by a rope.
The college expelled seven of the students and suspended the other four for the duration of this semester. A state supreme court judge denied the students' request for reinstatement and a college spokesmen said constitutional due process rights were not an issue because "Ithaca College is a private institution and not tax-supported."
