  • Recent reports of an Oregon State University student body representative's white nationalist views have sparked controversy on campus. But OSU isn't the only university dealing with reported bias incidents. White nationalist fliers were posted at Portland Community College and Clark College in December, and colleges nationwide are grappling with how to respond to hate groups.
