A former Roger William University board chairman Ralph Pappito recently used the N Word during a board meeting on diversity of all things. Mr. Pappito has since apologized and asked that his name be removed from the law school due to protest from people in Rhode Island and more importantly from the faculty and students. Some interesting notes:

3 board members who complained were removed from the board. They have yet to be reinstated.

According the the university president this is not the first time he has made racist remarks.

His request to have his name removed has been granted.
