The university’s club tennis team has apologized while an administrative investigation is underway
The University of Maryland's club tennis team has been indefinitely suspended and forfeited matches in an upcoming tournament after it sent racist imagery to other teams. The offending material included a symbol associated with the Ku Klux Klan, which Howard University's historically Black tennis club called for "true accountability."
University President Darryll J. Pines condemned the image, personally apologizing for its impact and initiating an investigation. The University of Maryland team has also pledged to donate tournament funds to the National Museum of African American History and Culture.
