October 10, 2007 -- A bitter rivalry could be behind the hanging of a noose outside the door of a prominent black professor at Columbia University Teacher College yesterday, which police are investigating as a hate crime, according to sources.Sources said the sickening act targeting award-winning author and psychologist Madonna Constantine, 44, may stem from a bitter academic dispute with a white rival professor.
"They're investigating whether another professor put the noose there rather than a student," one source said. "They have someone they're looking at, another professor who had a rivalry with her and was jealous over the work she did."
"This is an assault on African Americans and therefore it is an assault on every one of us," President Bollinger said in a statement. "I know I speak on behalf of every member of our communities in condemning this horrible action."
