A woman is no longer enrolled at North Park University in Chicago after school officials determined she had fabricated a story about receiving threatening, slur-riddled notes mentioning President-elect Trump.
“We are confident there is no further threat of repeated intolerance to any member of our campus community stemming from this recent incident,” the school’s president, David Parkyn, said in a statement.
The ex-student, Taylor Volk, claimed she received messages containing “harassing, threatening language and mentions of President-elect Donald Trump,” a local NBC News affiliate, WMAQ-TV, reported.

Volk uploaded pictures of supposedly threatening messages, some of which contained anti-gay slurs, to her various social media accounts.
