Two Native American men who were touring Colorado State University were pulled off the organized visit by campus police when a parent called to report that she was nervous about their presence, school officials said Wednesday.
Police questioned the men and allowed them to rejoin the tour, but by the time they were released, the group had moved on without them. The men then returned to CSUs Ammons Hall before leaving campus and going home to New Mexico.
The incident on Monday has prompted a review by the university. CSU officials say campus police responded appropriately to the concerns of the parent, but they also reached out to the two men who only wanted to visit the campus to see if they wanted to enroll at CSU.
This incident is sad and frustrating from nearly every angle, particularly the experience of two students who were here to see if this was a good fit for them, university officials said in an e-mail to students Wednesday.

We've had nervous people call the police in our town to report "suspicious looking" African-American men walking or driving through "their" neighborhood who were either doing their jobs or actual residents of the neighborhood.
