SCHOOL DROPS CHARGES OF RACIAL HARASSMENT

The University of Pennsylvania dropped charges of racial harassment against a white student who called a group of black women "water buffalo" when they made noise outside his dormitory.

University President Sheldon Hackney told 18-year-old Eden Jacobowitz that the women withdrew their complaints Monday.

The women said the judicial process had not allowed them to tell their side of the story, while Jacobowitz attracted a national media audience. They said that made pressing their case futile.
