As a freshman football player living in South Hall, Ian Simon often walked through Greektown on his way to class. The year was 2011, and he was an 18-year-old from Texas adjusting to a new home, college classes and Division I athletics.
One day, as he made his way through the rows of fraternity and sorority mansions, he saw a group of male students standing outside their house. They shouted racial slurs at him.
Simon kept walking.
It wasn’t the first time he was called the N-word, and it wasn’t the last.
