An earlier statement issued by the university noted that the incident in which the men dressed as KKK members appeared was the second such incident.

In December, months after the incident occurred, a junior at the university posted about the incident on Instagram, questioning why officials hadn't been addressed the incident appropriately after months.

"University of Utah students walked through residence halls in KKK uniforms & smeared poop on a Black student's door. Why hasn't anyone done anything?" she writes.

The school's Racist and Bias Incident Response Team caught wind of the post and issued a statement based on Housing & Residential Education (HRE) information. According to a recent statement, two separate incidents occurred a month apart, and both incidents are being reviewed and do not appear to be connected.

On Sep. 1, a student resident found a paper towel on their door handle with excrement. HRE could not determine who had left the disgusting paper towel on the door handle. The student was later relocated to a new residence.

The Resident Assistant (RA) in the same residence hall reported on Oct. 2 that some students were overheard saying that there were people in "white KKK-like attire" attempting to recruit people. HRE reviewed the video footage surrounding the three-day incident period and spoke with the RA and desk staff — however, the men were not identified without corroborating information.
