The University of Illinois plans to investigate racist threats posted on a Web site and made against an American Indian student.
The threats were posted last semester and appeared as part of a discussion group on the social networking site Facebook. The page, called "If They Get Rid of the Chief I'm Becoming a Racist," focused on the debate surrounding Chief Illiniwek. More than 100 students joined the group.
