My name is Daniel Foster. I am the one who made racial and ethnic slurs to the students in the Korean Students Organization in the early morning hours of April 9, 2009. Tam writing to apologize for the deep hurt that I have caused to these students and to this community. I am also writing to correct the record. I am not going to hide the severity of my words by calling them “obscenities.” I was bothering the dancers and refused to leave the common area where they were practicing, I spat at the KSA members, made racial and ethnic slurs against them, [calling them “chinks,” told them to “go back to Ch told them that I would “get them,” said “I am going to kill you all.” and probably other words that I do not remember.] My guilt and shame have been eating me away inside. I am genuinely sorry for the pain I have caused not only to the people directly involved in the incident, but for every one else who was affected by the words I said that night. I know that I should have left the area when asked. I know that there is no excuse for what I said. I know that I should have apologized the next day after I sobered up. That night has haunted my thoughts every moment of every day since it happened. ‘The words I used out of anger do not represent who Lam. With input from the people that I hurt so deeply, I am taking actions to address the issues that brought those hateful and derogatory words to my mouth, If I could go back in time I would take back the pain that I have caused to the people I was talking to and to the community. I know that there is no reason that the Korean students or anyone else should believe me when I say that I have deep remorse. Why didn’t I come forward earlier to correct the distortions in the press that made it sound like I was blaming the other students? It has been like a horrible nightmare that I hoped I would wake up from and see that it never happened. I have no excuse for burying my head in the sand and not taking responsibility and not correcting the facts that were reported wrong and made me look like a victim. That night has left me hurt as well as confused and unsure. Iam left with my integrity; unfortunately this situation has put that on the line as well. This incident painfully reminds me that words reflect values. I, like all students at Tufts, am accountable for my actions. I take responsibility for the events of that night, and I accept the consequences and disciplinary actions resulting from my conduct. My name is Daniel Foster. a
