The president of New York University has apologized for an “inexcusably insensitive” behavior on the part of its food-service provider Aramark. In a menu that was created to “honor” Black History Month barbecue ribs, collard greens, Kool-Aid, cornbread and watermelon-flavored water were served. Sophomore Nia Harris, who shared the menu in a Facebook post and within 24 hours, NYU President Andrew Hamilton posted an apology on the university website. Aramark has since suspended an employee.
